Candler and Clement A. Ev ans. is now fclng delivered. To those subscribers who were expecting, as they had a right to do, a complete and concise histosy of our groat tat . toe work is a severe jolt. Asa history It is Incomplete, inaccurate and full of misstatements and errors. To try and enumerate ail of l hopti would require a great, space.

B. & A. and the Southern ire put down as Brunswick railroads, it also statea that lumbi r and*cotton u’o the principal exports, with no month u whatotd'r of naval stores. The ontire space to Brunswick, Savan nah and Dari.A, the three principal colonial cities of Georgia, does no, amount to the same space as that given to the city of Atlanta alone. Those familiar with the history of too Revolution will be surprised t i**arn that th© battle of Savannah,' a which PulasCi lost his life, was fought on October 19, 1799, while as a matter of fact, it should have been fought October 9. 1779 Vol. 2, page 66.

The whole history is full of blograph* Lai sketches of Georgians, most of whom are unheard of and unknown, except In their immediate vicinity. The biographical sketches of Hill, Stephens, Norwood, Toombs and oth < r really great men of our state arc dismissed with a few lines while Mr. So!.

The binding is cheap imitation mor occo and cloth about the same you won hi find on a dollar ledger bought hi any book store. The public will be greatly surpris ed to learn that John Wesley preach ed his first sermon in Andrew Han ley’s paint store on Whitaker street, Savannah. Considering the fact that Wesley died more than a century and a half ago, and Andrew Hanley was not torn longer than three-quarters of a century ago, and did not occupy his present paint store there until ÜB3, it will have to be left to the "How old is Ann ” theorists to sedve how this was done. The solicitor subscipt ions for this work nearly two years ago. stated that two volumes of the work would be devoted to historical events of Georgia, and that they had sent men to England and Spain, who had discovered many priceless docu ments bearing on the colonial days of the country, which would be p®JjJish cd for the first time and which would throw much light on the long forgot ten events and bring out others, the existence of which were not even known.
