Colonial Claims from ministers of Central American countries, protesting British colonial claims to Nicaragua and Honduras. 106 pp. ; The U.S. Serial set is a specially bound, consecutively numbered version of all House and Senate reports and documents.

The whaling log of the ship, Neva from Greenport, George L. Hand, master, bound for Pacific, Sep 28, 1857 - Oct 20, 1859. Unpaginated account kept aboard the whaling bark Neva, on a voyage from Greenport, N.Y. to the South Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic oceans, 28 September 1857 - 19 October 1859 (last entry, bark sold at auction in Honolulu on or after 19 October 1857_Starbuck doesn't list Neva at all, see note below); after bark sold at auction, each crew member had to find his own way home. The keeper of this journal hired onto the bark Midas, out of New Bedford, Mass., commanded by Captain James L. Austin; his account on board starts 9 November 1859 (from Honolulu) - 31 March 1860. Cataloger's note: this account has a nearly identical counterpart ("Journal kept by George A. Conklin on board bark Neva from Greenport."); the handwriting is remarkably similar, yet with subtle differences. The information is nearly identical as well. However, when the bark is sold at auction in Honolulu on or after 19 October 1857 (see note above), the author of this journal joins the bark Midas, wheras the keeper of the similar journal joined the ship Gay Head I. Both journals state "George Conklin's Journal," but this one contains name "Heffrens" (sp?) on first page; furthermore, the two journals were donated to the LIC by two separate owners two decades apart (Mrs. C.C. Edwards 1966, and James Abbe, 1986, respectively). Immediately following last entry (from whaling voyage on onboard the bark Midas) is following unrelated entry: "We the undersigned petitioners of the Town of East Hampton would most respectfully petition the legislature of this state that the Town of East Hampton be exempt from the operations of the bill now before the legislature in relation to cattle running at large upon the public highways of said town" (no date). Two pages in back of journal contain agricultural planting journal, for the years 1854-1861 (no author); includes dates of crops (i.e. oats, corn, potatoes, wheat) sowed and harvested.

Circular describing the general plan for the Virginia Literary, Scientific, & Military Academy at Portsmouth, Virginia in February 1845, signed by members of the board of trustees. Also includes information about lectures, uniform, and tuition. ; VIRGINIA LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC AND MILITARY ACADEMY. PORTSMOUTH, V A . FEBRUARY, 1845 The Trustees would respectfully inform the public that this Institution is in successful operation, under the superintendance of the former able and popular professors, Maj. S. WHEELER, and Mr. N. B. WEBSTER, assisted in the Junior Department by Mr. D. D. STORY, and Mons. PASCAL SCHISANO Professor of French. GENERAL PLAN. The analytical method of instruction, leading to a thorough investigation of the reasons for every rule learned, and every scientific operation, performed, is strictly adhered to. The student is thus enabled, not only to acquire a knowledge of facts, but also to understand the "why and wherefore;" without which their ready application to the practical business of life cannot be attained. That knowledge of Military science, which, while human nature remains as it. now is, is ever liable to be called into requisition, may be here acquired without the sacrifice of either time or money ; as the Military exercises do not interfere with the usual hours of study, but are attended to at times too often devoted by students to trifling amusement. For this, regular and ennobling exercise is substituted ; which the Trustees feel the most perfect assurance, based upon their own observation and experience, not only tends to expedite the advancement o-f the student, but in a very great degree to secure his health. Particular attention is given to the correct development of the moral and intellectual powers ; while all interference with the peculiar religious or political views of the student is carefully avoided. The discipline of the Institution is strict and uniform, in principle-military, in practice-parental. Energy and promptitude are required, in the discharge of every duty, and correct and gentle-manly deportment, at all times, and places. In fine it is the constant aim of the professors, to prepare those who may be committed to their charge, for the successful prosecution of business, either in a public or private, a civil or military capacity, and for the proper understanding and discharge of the duties incumbent on them, as individuals, as members of community, and as rational and accountable beings. Students are allowed to progress as rapidly as they may be able, consistent with the thorough understanding of the branches to which they at-tend. In addition to the usual Academic course of study, particular attention is paid to the practical sciences, especially the Mathematical. Instruction is also given in the principles of Law. which the Trustees consider an important part of the Education of American youth, inasmuch as every citizen of (Mir Republic, is both amenable to the laws, and either directly or indirectly has an agency in en-acting them. Major S. Wheeler, a graduate of the school of Law at the University of Virginia, and member of the Virginia Bar, instructs in this department. CLASSICAL DEPARTMENT. Students are correctly and thoroughly instructed in the Latin and Greek languages, and fitted for any college, or class in college, or if desired, carried through the entire collegiate course of studies. THE SENIOR ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, Includes the entire course of Mathematics, as taught at the United Slates Military Academy at West Point. The various branches of Natural Science, History, Book-Keeping, Metaphysics, Ethics, See. &c. IN THE JUNIOR DEPARTMENT, The following branches are taught, viz; Reading, Spelling, Writing, Arithmetic, Geography History of the United States, and English Grammar, Particular attention being given to these elementary branches. Exercises in Declamation and Composition, are attended to by all the Cadets. In all the departments, the most approved Text Books are used. LECTURES. An annual series of daily Lectures, before the Classical arid Senior English departments, is included in the course of instruction, on which the Cadets are critically examined, from the notes which they are required to take. The Lectures embrace the following, among other subjects viz: Civil, Physical, and Descriptive, (including Ancient and Modern.) Geography; Ancient and Modern History; Military Science, including Ancient and Modern Fortification, Castrame-tion, and Tactics; Chemistry; Mechanics; Hydrostatics and Hydraulics; Pneumatics; Op-tics; Electricity; Galvanism and Electro-Magnetism; Meteorology; Geology; Mineralogy; Botany; Astronomy; and Natural, National, Constitutional and Municipal Law. APPARATUS. The Academy is furnished with a well selected Library ; a valuable Cabinet of Minerals ; an excellent Philosophical, Chemical, and Electrical Apparatus; Mathematical Instruments, &c. Al-so many valuable Maps, Drawings, &c. MILITARY DEPARTMENT. Military Exercises are attended to daily, by all the Cadets, unless specially excused. The Military department includes full and correct practical instruction in Infantry, Artillery and Rifle Tactics, Fencing and Broad Sword exercise. UNIFORM. The Uniform consists of a blue coat, with standing collar, one row of State (gilt) buttons in front-blue pantaloons for winter and white for summer-and a blue cloth cap, with a small gilt eagle in front. Those of sufficient age to handle the musket are required to have a uniform for parades, and all are required to wear some part of the uniform. The Academy has just been supplied, by the State, with a new set of muskets, and equipments. Parents and Guardians of Cadets, are informed that a record hook is kept, of every recitation and roll call, and a report of the same sent them, at the end of every month-which the Cadet is required to return signed by the Parent or Guardian. TERMS. The Terms have been reduced to the following rates: Classical Department, including the English course, per year, - - $40 00 Senior English Department, - 30 00 Junior Department, - 20 00 The same rates are charged for any period. There is no charge for Lectures-use of Library or any of the Military Exercises. Board can be obtained in good families at from 8 to 12 dollars per month. Gen. JOHN HODGES, President.

Announcement by Alden Partridge of the opening of the National Scientific and Military College, at Brandywine Springs, Delaware. Includes a general description of the system of education and course of study offered at the school. ; THE NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC AND MILITARY COLLEGE, At the Brandywine Springs, Delaware. THE public is respectfully informed, that the above Institution was opened for the reception of Students, on the 16th of May, 1853, under the personal superintendence of Capt. ALDEN PARTRIDGE, assisted by an able corps of In-structors. The instruction embraces a complete course of Literary, Scientific and Military Education. The Mathe-matics, both theoretical and practical, Civil and Military Engineering, Physical Philosophy, Astronomy, Geography, History, Mental and Moral Philosophy, the Laws of Nations, the Science of Government, the Constitution of the United States, Political Economy, Agriculture, Rhetoric, Sound Literature, the several branches of Military Science, &c., &c., constitute prominent branches of Instruction. The Military Exercises and Duties are so arranged as not to occupy any of the time that would otherwise be de-voted to study; they will be attended to at those hours of the day which are generally passed by students in idleness, or devoted to useless amusements, for which they are made a pleasing and healthful substitute. Practical scientifical operations will be frequently attended to, which conduce equally to health and improvement. The charge for Board, Tuition, Room-rent, Washing, Lights and Fuel, will be 41 dollars per quarter of 11 weeks; or 164 dollars for the Collegiate year of 44 weeks. The French, Spanish, German, and Italian Languages, and also Music and Fencing, are extra branches; for each of which, those who attend to them will be charged Five Dollars per quarter. Instruction in writing will be charged $1,25 for 14 Lessons. The Latin and Greek Languages will be taught to those who may wish to study them. The qualifications for admission are a good moral character; to write a fair, legible hand; a good knowledge of the ground Rules of Arithmetic; and to read and spell the English Language correctly. It is believed that eleven years is as young as a pupil can enter the Institution advantageously. The Cadets will be furnished with Clothing, Books, and every thing else necessary for their comfort and improvement, at the Institution, at established and reasonable prices. No debts must be contracted without the written permission of the Superinten-dent ; and parents and guardians are required not to pay any bills, unless sanctioned by him. No money must be furnished any Cadet, except by the Superintendent, or his written order. The Superintendent will take charge of all the funds of the Cadets, and see that they are furnished with every thing. Each Cadet is required to have a Permit Book, in which all his expenses must be entered. Each Cadet, whose parents or guardian, reside more than 150 miles from the Institution, will be required to.deposit with the Superintendent 125 dollars ; and an additional 125 dol-lars at the end of 22 weeks. At the end of the Collegiate year, the parent or guardian will be presented with an ac-curate statement of his son's or ward's expenses, and credit for monies received, and the balance, whether in favor or against the Cadet, will be transferred to the following account. Those Cadets, who do not reside more than 150 miles from the Institution, must deposit with the Superintendent when they enter, 75 dollars ; after which, their ac-counts will be made out at the beginning of each quarter, and the balance transferred as above. The Cadets will wear the same uniform as was worn at Middletown. Strict economy will be required, and no unnecessary expendi-tures allowed. Great attention will be given to the manners and morals of the Students, and to the developement of those noble, manly and patriotic sentiments that ought to characterize every American citizen. This system of Edu-cation prepares young men equally well for public or private, civil or military life, and its superiority over every other system has been established by thirty-three years of experience. Those who do not wish to complete the full course, can attend to the branches which will best qualify them for such future pursuits as they contemplate. Each one will be allowed to progress as rapidly as he can in his studies, consistently with a thorough understanding of the same. Candidates for admission are admitted at any time and charged their expenses from the time of joining. The 33d ANNIVERSARY OF THE SYSTEM will be celebrated at the Institution, on the 6th of Sept., 1853, at which all are invited to attend. The LOCATION of the Institution is central from north to south, and is proverbially healthy and pleasant. The climate is mild. It is 32 miles from Philadelphia, 5 from Wilmington, and 65 from Baltimore, and in the vicinity of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad—the Depot at Newport being two miles and a half distant, with a ready con-veyance. Being retired from the vicinity of any city or large village, it is well adapted to study, and the preservation of the morals of the Cadets. The quarters are of stone, in good repair, and will accommodate 250 Cadets. There are all the necessary out buildings, a Medicinal Spring, &c., and 60 acres of land, well adapted to Gardening, Agri-culture, &c. A. PARTRIDGE, Superintendent, BRANDYWINE SPRINGS, JUNE 1, 1853
