 Rh printed Greek, whenever it was required. Unless Mr. Simms wrote (as he probably did) "International Law of Copyright," he has nothing in this volume until we come to eight of his "Early Lays," in December. There is still a paucity of bibliographical matter. A friendly notice of the Collegian, which had been started by James P. Holcombe and others at the University of Virginia, closes the year 1839. A future editor of the Messenger was a contributor to the Collegian.

One fact becomes striking: from how many States, not Southern, the contents of the Messenger were furnished.
