HUGH PITCAIRN, 



Consul. 



MAGDEBURG. 



Upon investigation, I have found that there are no manufacturers 

 of paper of any kind in this consular district. However, I found a 

 comprehensive work, recently published, that contains all the in- 

 formation that anybody can possibly desire upon the subject of 

 manufacture of paper. This work is in two volumes, large quarto 

 size, and contains 1,770 pages. The title of it is Praktisches Hand- 

 buch der Papierfabrikation (Practical Handbook of the Manufacture 

 of Paper), Von Carl Hofman, Verlag der (published by) Papierzeit- 

 ung, Berlin, W.
