Notes.

This article presents information regarding books and journals. The Arkansas Legislature, Historical Society, and Eclectic Society of Little Rock have combined to suppress the vulgar pronunciation of the name of the State, viz., Arkansas, finals sounded, and to constrain all cultivated persons, and especially all dictionary and school-book makers, to observe the State's preference for the original and orthodox pronunciation, as first adopted by the U.S. Congress. The June 1881 "Harper" has a characteristic table of contents readily estimated from a bare enumeration of the titles. The emphatic illustrated article is Samuel Adams Drake's "White Mountains," a first paper, with beautiful designs, chiefly by W.H. Gibson.
