Complimentary Notices of the Magazine.

The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography has established itself in the front rank of similar periodicals of this country. NEW YORK NATION.

The tendency of this age is to find original documents, and not to rely on opinions of historians. The Virginia Historical Society has appreciated this, the true basis of historical knowledge, and is committing to the press, and thus forever preserving, the valuable MSS. material in its possession. This makes the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography invaluable to students of the history of our country. WM. WIRT HENRY,

Author of the "Life and Correspondence of Patrick Henry."

I regard the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography as a most valuable publication. The first seven numbers contained documents which compelled me to alter my lecture notes in several important particulars-especially as to education in Virginia and as to Bacon's Rebellion. A scholarly and useful publication. PROF. EDWARD CHANNING,
