���THE PARTHENON AT ATHENS.

[from TICKNOR's "cHILDE HAROLD."]

��Preble's sumptuous " History of the American Flag ; " Dodge's " Chancel- lorsville," and " Bird's-eye View of the Civil War;" Stevenson's "Battle of Stone River ; " the volumes of the Mili- tary Historical Society of Massachusetts on McClellan's and Pope's campaigns ; and the new volumes, " Gen. Hazen's Military Service," and Owen's history of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans.

"The American Architect," the only periodical now retained by the Tick- nors, is a weekly journal of architecture and the fine arts, richly illustrated with heliotype prints, and of permanent in- terest to all persons of taste and culti- vation. After a protracted and deter-

��mined struggle of more than ten years, this paper has reached a position of power and circulation, and is the recog- nized authority on all questions in its department.

We have thus briefly glanced at a few points in the history and present condition of this representative house, whose development has been, and will be for years to come, so powerful a fac- tor in the literary annals of New Eng- land. As such, and as a product and an exponent of our best American culture, the career of Ticknor & Co. has an interest beyond that of most mercantile houses, reaching into the border-lands where commerce and cul- ture and civilization meet.
