The Origin of the Dollar 3Iark.
The origiti-of r (he. simbol .gsed to
indicate dollars (8) is a matter of con
siderable dispute. It is commonly
believed to be an abbreviation of the
letters U. S.,.which, have in tlio. hurry
of business been run into each other
until the original form’ was lost sight
of. It is believed, however, by some
antiquarians to have been a contrac
tion or a Spanish word, but those who
hold this opinion differ in their riews
about the! precise word from which it
is derived. Some say it is fuerles
hard, and others that it is pesos, dol
lars. The dictionary of- Americanism
gives the explanation—that it is a
modification of ,tbe figure 8, denoting
a pieeb of eight reals, • ori as a dollar
was formerly called, a piece of eight.
Il was then symbolized by 8..

New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new tyfie, and illustrat
ed with Several Thousand Engravings and
Maps.
The wort originally published under the title
of The New American Cyclopaedia was^completed
in 1863, since winch time the wide circulation it.
bus attained in all parts ol* the United States, and
the signal developments which have taken place an
every oranck of science, literature, and art", have
induced the editors and publishers to submit it to'
an exact and thorough revision, and to isshe a
new edition entitled The American Cyclopie-
dia. .
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge lias
made a new work of reference an imperative
“want.*'
, The movement of political- affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and .their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social lifjs,-—
Great w ars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment.. The civil w’ar of our own Coiintrj,
which was at its height when the last volume, of
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and a hew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced. .
Large accession* to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable explor
ers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last'de-
cade, with thenatural result of the lapse ot time,
have brought into.public view a innit.ttide of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouthy and
of"whose liViB every one is enriohs to know the
parliculais. lireat battles haVe been fought and
important se.gos maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved 'only in newspapers or
in the; trap sieut publications of the day, but
which now ought tu take (heir places in perma
nent and authentic history.; -
In preparing the present edition fortht?press,
it lias accortlihgly been the aim of -the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish ah accurate account of the'
rncst recent discoveries in science*.of every fredi
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical - arts, as weU as to give a
succinct and original record of .tiie progress of
political and'historical events.
The work has been begun after long, and care
ful preliminary labor, and with : tiie most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful termi
nation.
None of the original stereotype. plateB have,
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming m fact a--new Cyclopiedia,
with the same plan and compass as its predecssor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, aad
with such improvements in its composition as
have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for the]
first time in the present edition have been added'
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and fofee to the explanations in
tlie text.: They embrace all branches of science.
and of natural history, and depict the most fa
mous and remarkable features of scenery,.archi
tecture, and art, as. well as the .various processes
