are capable of manufacturing 25,000 bushels of wheat daily! They actually do make on an average from 500,000 to 600,000 barrels of flour per year, worth, at present prices, nearly $6,000,000.”

NOTE.

THE sixth article of our last number embodied such a variety of statements respecting the condition of Insane Hospitals, at home and abroad, as scarcely to admit the possibility of avoiding all inaccuracy. A distinguished gentleman, holding an official relation to the State Lunatic Hospital of South Carolina, has been so good as to furnish us with the following memorandum, which we give in his own words; —

"At page 112 of the Review, it is stated that 'Kentucky has the honor of being the first State in the Union to establish, at the expense and under the control of the State, an Asylum for pauper lunatics. In the year 1824, a spacious and commodious building was erected at Lexington for their accommodation, at an expense of 40,000 dollars,' &c. And below, I read, At Columbia, South Carolina, is a well-conducted hospital for lunatics. It was built by the State in 1829,' &c.

"I presume the statement relative to the Kentucky hospital is correct; at least I know nothing to the contrary. That relative to South Carolina contains an error as to the date, 1829. The appropriation for the Asylum was made by the Legislature in December, 1821. In 1822, the board of commissioners selected the spot and made arrangements for the erection of the buildings, and its foundation dates from that year. The expense of putting up the suitable buildings exceeding much the amount appropriated by the legislature, caused considerable delays in its completion; and it was not ready for the reception of patients till 1827. The cost at that time was about 80,000 dollars, and the subsequent expenses have raised it to about 100,000 dollars. An additional wing is now about being constructed, and is nearly finished, for the accommodation of more patients, at the expense of 8,000 dollars more. There is a farm of about seventy acres of land attached to the Asylum, which is found very beneficial to the patients who are able to work occasionally; and the profit resulting from this has enabled the establishment to defray its expenses the last year for the first time, yearly appropriations by the legislature having hitherto made up the deficiency. Every district pays 100 dollars a year for each of its paupers.

"You may, Sir, in the next number of your Review, correct this error, if you think proper."

that mill, has been followed to his own door by wolves! And so late as 1800, the mill not supporting itself, was left vacant; and any of the settlers, as they had occasion, went to it, ground their own grain, closed the mill, and returned at their leisure. And this in a place which is now the largest flour manufactory in the world!"

From the cursory examination we have been able to give this book, we are satisfied that it will be found to be a useful aid in acquiring the idioms of the French language. Bellenger's work, which is the basis of the present, is said, in the preface, to have gone through eighteen editions in Paris; a most substantial proof of its real utility. The American work has been printed with great care, and many errors, which had crept into preceding editions of Bellenger, have been corrected, Those who wish a book to assist them in acquiring the art of conversing in French, may go further and fare worse.

Practical French Translator. By B. F. Bugard.

A second edition of this work is before the public. We think it will be found a useful addition to the elementary works in a language, now attracting such general attention. To the teacher it will be a valuable aid; and by help of its full and accurate rules and observations, the learner will be able, by himself, to attain a considerable proficiency. The rules for pronunciation, in particular, are remarkably copious, and will give as good a knowledge, perhaps, as can be obtained from written rules, of a part of the language, which can be learned perfectly from oral instruction alone. The Tables of Verbs are convenient for reference. The grammatical portion of the work is followed by exercises in translation, arranged to suit the progress of the student, and concluding with an abridgement of Molière's" Bourgeois Gentilhomme." The constant reference, in the exercises, to the grammatical rules, strikes us as exceedingly well adapted to show their practical application, and to render them familiar to the learner.
