 Publisher's Notice. 
 
 This Thesaurus of historic data and illustration pictures 
 all the principal features of the Free Public Library for 
 more than thirty years, and of the Female Seminary and 
 the High School for half a century, — the town and feoffees 
 uniting for the purpose of a high school, after the Seminary 
 service of 18^0, Benj. P. Shute being principal 18^1-2, and 
 Joseph A. Shores 1893-6, followed by Issachar Lefavour, 
 whose portrait is here shown. 
 
 These three features of the department of Education, 
 because of the high character of the subjects treated, mer- 
 it a cordial reception, while the whole work of more than 
 ninety individual fine-line engravmgs is designed to gratify 
 alike the citizen and "the stranger within the gate." Oth- 
 er departments, as of religion, law, manufacture, etc., may 
 be illustrated ; meanwhile the kindly expression of the pub- 
 lic is thankfully anticipated. 
 
 This number contains some memorabilia of Essex 
 County.
