\_From, the Scientific American.'] 

 A new edition of Taylor's Statistics of Coal is published by J. 

 W. Moore, of Philadelphia. When the first edition was pub- 

 lished a few years ago, its thorough scientific character and ac- 

 curate information at once brought new laurels to its able author. 

 The Elinburg Review passed a high eulogium upon it, and with no 

 part of it have we ever heard a fault mentioned. This edition 

 is revised and brought down to 1854, by Professor S. S. Halde- 

 man, the venerable author having departed this life in 1851. 

 It is chiefly devoted to the Coal and Iron natural resources of 

 America ; and no American, we assert, can have a proper idea, of 

 the vast internal resources of his country and be ignorant of 

 the contents of this book. No library, public or private can be 

 complete without a copy of it. The publisher has spared no 

 pains in making this an attractive work, it being embellished 

 with numerous wood cuts and colored maps, printed on fine 

 paper, 640 pages 8vo.
