ompleted figure in marble has not only given the highest satisfaction to all concerned, but has been pronounced by competent critics one of the finest works of art in the world. The Mausoleum is to contain this splendid creation of Valentine's genius — this fitting monument to deck the tomb of Lee. The Association have raised in all $22,000, and they now need only $5,000 to complete the Mausoleum. Surely the bare announcement that this small sum is all that is necesssary to complete this splendid monument will at once bring contributions from every quarter. We would be glad to receive and forward any sums which could not be as conveniently sent to the treasurer, C. M. Figgatt, Esq'r, Lexington, Virginia. If any one fails to receive this number, ask if he has paid his subscription for 1879 or notified the Secretary of a purpose to do so soon. And please let our friends exert themselves to swell our list of new subscribers. Other Paragraphs and Book Notices crowded out

Book notices. History of the First and Second Missouri Confederate brigades, 1861-1865; and from Wakarusa to Appomattox: a military Anagraph. By R. S. Brevier, Saint Louis: Bryan, Brand & Co. 1879. We are indebted to the publishers for a copy of this book, which is of a class which we would like to see largely multiplied, as histories of particular commands and sketches of personal adventure will be valuable material for the future historian. The first part of the book is a deeply interesting history of the organization, campaigns and gallant deeds of the First and Second Confederate Missouri brigades.

The second part of the book--From Wakarusa to Appomattox--is a personal narrative of what the gallant soldier saw and heard while wearing the gray, a

W . Gary$1,465 55 W. E. Simons & Brother532 02    $1,997 57   This debt, we repeat, has lapped over from previous years, and may be fully accounted for by the statement that in the years 1876 and 1877 we paid for the single items of stereotyping, printing the Confederate roster, and the extra cost of the large number of pages and extra copies of our Papers, the sum of $4,505.86--i. e., if we had run the Papers for 1876 and 1877 on the basis of the cost of publishing them in 1878 and 1879, we would have paid every dollar of our liabilities and had a surplus of $2,508.29. It should be remembered, too, that out of our receipts from the Papers we have had to meet not only the cost of their publication, but all of the expenses of the Society as well, and that we now have on hand back volumes worth at least $5,500 (every one of which can be disposed of in the course of time), and stereotypeplates for nearly the whole of the first year, from which we can reprint ad libitum.
