255 - L. Feb. 4; ed: 2/1 - School books found on the captured blockade run-
ner EILA, bore the dedication "To His excellency, Jefferson Davis, presi-
dent of C. S. A." This series of books, selected from the best texts,
and prepared and adapted to the wants of the Southern states, is respect-
fully dedicated "by yours, etc. K. J. Stewart, London, England, June 15,
1863." "It was an outrage to prevent the reception of these instructive
volumes by the persons for whom they were intended; but such is the fate
of war, and blockade-running is a risky business." (5)
