Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, 1820, Vol. 24 IN attempting an essay on this subject; in which it is intended to convey an - accurate idea of the gold mines, the author is fully aware of the difficulties he has to encounter, and approaches the subject with great difiide'nce, im'der a conviction of his inability to do it the Justice it merits. If apology, under such Circumstances, be necessary, it will be found in the necessny of inviting the attention of the scien tific and experienced, to the development of this important branch of our domestic industry. The simple fact that all the mines of the state, have their business conducted without the aid of'the expe rience of older mining countries, would induce a belief that an asso 01atlonr which would bromote an interchange of ideas, anda diffusion of Such' useful knowledge as could be obtained by sending a compe tent'person to examine thelmining business of other countries, Would have a most salutary effect. Should the following remarks result in the desired improvement or induce more competent persons to take up the enquiry and aid in improving the mining industry of Georgia, the author will be amply rewarded, for the time devoted to this essay.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, 1870, Vol. 49: Nos. 145, 146, 147 Alexander von humboldt was born in Berlin on the 14th of September, 1769, and died there on the 6th of May, 1859, in the ninetieth year of his age. A rapid sketch of his youth and early manhood will serve to Show how well he prepared him self, single-handed, to accomplish so much; more even than most of the learned academies Of which he was a member, and certainly not less than any of the great VO ages of Discovery, and celebrated Exploring Expeditions condimted at the public expense. The course pursued with him was so peculiar, and contrasts so completely with the usual course of training in the colleges of this country, even in the scientific departments, that no ains have been spared to render this account as complete an exact as possible. Unroll the scrolls of biography and no name will be found a brighter example to stimulate, encour age and direct the youthful student than that of Humboldt.
