We have only thus far scanned hastily over the volume. It indi cates considerable of good work and contains many worth-while sugges tions. 'There are some inaoou rseiee? few books are without' them. But to have been prepared while doing college work, it would be too much to expect the author to verify every traditional statement and date to the utmost. As opportunity affords, this paper will comment on sOme of the timely suggestions made about things and matters of interest to Alamance peo ple, and also note in the margin of our copy any inaccuracies that we have knowledge of.
