Whitehead, of Newark, in reply to the last; Mr. Dawson himself, who endeavored to act as umpire between the two; Jlr. Whitehead, in reply to Mr. Dawson; Mr. Dawson, in reply to Mr. \Vliiteiiead ; and the Attorney-General of New York in closing the argument. The correspondence closes with a [)ostscript by Mr. Dawson. The volume was subse<iuently printed for the use of the United States Court in one of the boundary suits ; and the arguments and evidence which Mr. Dawson presented in his articles, are said to have influenced Judge Nelson in determining the case for New York. The Andre volume is probably the most perfect " Andreana" in print. The series of volumes has been sold at one hundred dollars for the set, the edition being very small, only twenty-six copies having been printed.

A month or two after dissolving his relations with the (razette, Mr. Dawson purchsised The Historical Magazine, of which he became the editor and publisher. His first number was that for July, 1866. Ten volumes having been completed at the end of the year, he began in January, 1867, a new and enlarged series of the work giving double the number of i)ages and making two volumes in a year. As editor of this publication Mr. Dawson has achieved wide reinitation among literary people, and especially among the students of every branch of American history. The magazine became a mine of historical information, and continues to be regarded as one of the standard references of American literature.
