ICONOGRAFHIC ENCYCLOPEDIA OP SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND ART; SYSTEMATICALLY arranged by G. Heck, with Five Hundred Steel Engravings , by the most distinguished Artists of Germany. The text translated and Edited by Spencer P. Baird, A. M. M, D.. Professor of Natural Sciences in Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa. PROSPECTUS. The Iconographic Encyclopaedia will embrace (in a series of SUO Quarto Steel Engravings and upwards of 2000 pages of letter-press in large 8vo.) all the branches of human knowledge which can be illustra ted by pictorial representations, viz : I.—Mathematics; II. —Natural and Medical Sciences; 111. —Geography ; IV. —Ethnology : V.—Military Sciences ; VI. — Naval Sciences; “VII. —Architecture ; VIII. — Mythology, &c.; IX —The Fine Arts , X.—Technology, with all their respective sub divisions. The work will be published in 25 monthly port folios, each containing 20 Engravings and eighty pages of Letter press. PRICE ONE DOLLAR EACH PART! Subscriptions taken for the whole Work only. As the different departments of science, from their varying natures, will demand more or less detailed explanations in Letter-press, eighty pages of text will not always be sufficient to explain thoroughly the rep resentations of twenty engravings, whilst in other in stances less than that space will be required. Thus the explanatory text belonging to 20 plates, but ex ceeding eighty pages, will be furnished with the fol lowing 20 plates, so that at the end of the work text and plates will run together, and form a complete manual of the enumerated sciences, with a full col lection of pictorial illustrations, executed on steel with the greatest care and accuracy. It having been deemed of great importance to unite the greatest possible cheapness with beauty and in trinsic value, the great expense of re-engraving the plates has been avoided, and a contract made to se cure good impressions, taken under the immediate supervision of Mr. Heck, the original framer of the work, from the highly finished German plates; and the specimens now before the public will prove that they could not have been produced in this country at less than double the price for which they are now offered. A small proportion of the 500 Engravings consti tuting the whole work (about 50, representing As tronomy and Geography) have inscriptions (chiefly astronomical and geographical names) in the German Language, which could not have been altered except at very great expense. This circumstance, will, how ever, in no way interfere with the perfect clearness of the matter represented, as the accompanying English text, referring strictly to the designs of the plates, gives every explanation required. Besides, a full glossary ol ail foreign words occurring on the plates will be issued at the end of the work for the benefit of those who wish to make themselves acquainted with the several names and expressions. Indexes and tables of contents will be issued with the last part oi the work, adapting it to practical use, and facilitating reference to any of the branches of science it embraces. Subscriptions may be addressed to any bookseller in the United States, or by letter direct to RUDOLPH GARRIGUE, Publisher, 2 Barclay-street, Astor House, N. Y.

CHRONICLEI & SENTINEL. | TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 23, ’49. iUlaceUanjL From the Baltimore Patriot. Death of Edgar A< Poe. We sincerely regret to hear of the melancho ly death of Edgar A. Poe, who expired in this city on Sunday morning about five o’clock, at the early age of thirty-eight years, after an ill ness of about a week. His disease was con gestion of the brain. S Mr. Poe was equally remarkable for his ge nius and his acquirements. He enjoyed un common advantages of early education, hav ing spent his boyhood at a school in the neigh borhood of London, and afterwards received instructional William and Mary College, and at West Point. These advantages were im proved with considerable assiduity, and by the time he reached his majority he had acquired accomplishments rarely attained by men far more advanced in years. He was acquainted, in a greater or less degree, with the ancient languages, and with French, Spanish, Italian and German, and had an accurate knowledge of most branches of science and art. His ac quirements in Astronomy,Natural Philosophy, Natural History, Botany, Chemistry, &c., are said to have been both extensive and accurate, and there were few branches of human know ledge to which he had uotdirected his attention and with which, at least, he had not such fa miliarity as to enable him, in his writings, to draw upon them for the purpose of illustration, with aptness and effect. Mr. Poe’s writings, both in prose and poetry, have for several years past, had an established reputation. They were peculiar, and far from being with outstriking faults; but there is scarcely one of them that can be read by a person ofjudgment, without leading him to the conclusion that the author was a man of genius truly original ; of a taste refined by diligent study and compari son ; and of information varied, comprehen sive and minute. It is greatly to be regretted that his extraordinary capacity was not more appropriately employed than in the field of literary labor, to which circumstances obliged him to confine himself. For, under better auspices, he might have produced works which would have been of enduring value to posteri ty. His writings disclose the most remarkable powers of analysis, and had his efforts been steadily and judiciously directed, he would have left behind him a reputation inferior to that of no other American writer whatever.— As it is, what he has written will not fail to be rescued from the common fate of the epheme ral productions of the day. The learning, genius, taste, originality and nice discrimina tion, mellifluous flow, and often exquisite ima gery of his verse, will never cease to be ac knowledge and admired. His criticisms of his coleraporaries were universally admitted to discover the most acute perception of the faults as well as merits of those whom he re viewed ; and although often impeached as wanting in impartiality, are now generally con ceded to have been equally just and discrimi nating. Mr, Poe is said to have been a man of pol ished manners, fine colloquial powers, warm and amiable impulses, and of a high and some times haughty spirit. It is deeply to be de plored that his great powers, which might have enabled him to soar so high and to have acquired for himself so much of fame and prosperity, were obscured and crippled by the frailities and weaknesses which have too often attended eminent genius in all ages. It may be regarded as a singular coinci dence. that several days ago we received a note from a “Lady Friend,” asking us to pub lish two poems by Mr. Poe, “The Raven”and “Ulalome,’ and that we had prepared to publish the former, on this very day, and even were on the point of sending it to the compos itor, when we heard of his death. We still publish it in connection with the above notice of his decease. “The Raven” on the first publication about five years ago, excited a deep interest, and was copied far and near, at home and abroad. It is a rare effort of the peculiar genius of the writer, and is one of the most remarkable and metrical poems ever written. THE RAVEN. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my cham ber door. “’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more.” Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak De cember ; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow, —vainly I had sought to borrow Prom ray books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore — For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore Nameless here for evermore. And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each pur ple curtain Thrilled me —filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repealing “ ’Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my cham ber door — Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door; — This it is and nothing more.” Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, “Sir,” said I, “ or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore ; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you”—here I opened wide the door ; Darkness there and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore!” This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word “ Lenore 7” Merely this, and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. “Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see, then; what thereat is, and this mystery explore— Let my heart be still a moment, and this mystery ex plore; — ’Tis the wind and nothing more 7 Open here I flung the shutter, when with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore ; Not the least obeisance made he ; not a minute stop ped or stayed he; But with mein of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door— Perched upon a bust of Pallas, just above my cham ► ber door — Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling ray sad fancy into Jji smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, “ Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, ‘‘art sure no craven, Ghastly, grim and ancient Raven, wandering from the Nightly shore — Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plu tonian shore!” Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.” Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly Though its answers little meaning—little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet wag blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door — Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as “ Nevermore.” But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered— Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before— On the morrow he will leave me, as ray hopes have flown before.” Then the bird said “ Nevermore.” Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, “Doubtless,” said I, “ what it utters is its only stock and store Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerci ful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore — Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of* Never—nevermore.’ ” But the Raven still beguiling my sad fancy into smil ing. Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door, Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore— Meant in croaking “ Nevermore.” This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable ex pressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core ; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion’s velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o’er; But whose velvet-violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o’er, She shall press, ah, nevermore! Then, raethought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor, “Wretch,” I cried, “thy God hath lent thee —by these angels he hath sent thee Respite —respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore ; Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore; Quoth the Raven “ Nevermore.” “ Prophet!” said I, “ thing of evil! prophet still, if bird or devil I Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land en chanted— On this home by Horror haunted —tell me truly, 1 implore — Is there —is there balm in Gilead 1 tell me—tell me, I implore I” Quoth the Raven “ Nevermore.” “Prophet,” said I, “ thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us —by that God we both adore — Tell this soul with sorrow laden, if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore— Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.” Quoth the Raven “ Nevermore.” “Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend,” I shrieked, upstarting— “ Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plu tonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken !—quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form off my door!” Quoth the Raven “ Nevermore.” And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted—nevermore !
