The host of elaborate special Handbooks and Guides
which abound'at the Railway Stations give many minute
details to which a condensed Gazetteer of the World, in a
moderate-sized volume, cannot lay claim. But what it does
claim is, that, it contains every necessary particle of Tra-
velling and Commercial information, derived from tho best
and original sources.
It is a matter of just pride and congratulation that all the
great Ocean Steamship Companies, and many eminent Com-
mercial Shipping Firms, have cheerfully acceded to the
E.iitor's application to forward Printed Forms of Ques-
tions to their Correspondents and Agents all over the globe
for reply.
Many of the home and continental ports have already sent
in the requisite information ; those more remote will all be
in time to have the latest authentic intelligence inserted in
the next annual volume, which will be published on the Ist
of December next, so as to be received and utilised by the
Ist day of the New-year in almost every part and city of
the globe.
It will embody an amount of topopraphical, statistical,
commercial, railway, and shipping intelligence, such as can-
not be found in any other publication. A valuable addition
will be a FOREIGN PORTS' DIRECTORY, containing the names
of British and American Ministers, Consuls and Vice-Con-
suls, Clergymen of all denominations, Physicians, Banks,
Managers and London Correspondents, Chief Merchants,
Ship Brokers and Shipping Agents, Lloyd's Agents, News-
papers and Editois, Hotels and Proprietors ; in short, no
labour or expense is being spared to render the work of
paramount universal utility.
Our Ocean Highways " Monthly Supplement, incorpo-
rated with the " Anglo-American Times," the leading organ
of America in Europe, is essentially for the use of passengers
by our great Ocean Steamship Companies. Each number of
the Supplement and each bi-monthly number of "The Anglo-
American Times " will contain, in addition to a Ports' Rail-
way and Steamers Summary, a Skeleton Tour, taking the
traveller from the steamer, on his arrival in port, to some
one of the great European centres, guiding him on his way
and ensuring his comfort at the most eligible hotels. These
Supplements accompany the passengers in the homowaid-
bound steamers, provision having been made for the Agents
of the respective Steamship Companies regularly receiving
them for distribution at all foreign ports.
Communications, suggestions, and corrections are earnestly
solicited from all Travellers, either by letter to the Editor, or
personal interview, at the Buckingham Palace Hotel,
London.
