from the last census table of 1S9O-To
which will be added a brief historical
sketch of the very interesting and respect
able assemblage which met at the capital
OF Virginia, for revising the constitution
in 1929. The work will be embellished
with a map of Virginia facing the title
page. 1t may be expected of the publish
er to point out the advantages of this
Gazetteer which he supposes tito possess
over all that have heretofore been publish
ed in the United States.
There never has been separate Gaz
eteer of Virginia unconnected with any
other state in the union, and all that has
been published in this connection has been
woefully incomplete. This Gazetteer, so far
as this state is concerned, is not only in
tended TO, but will doubtless, supersede
all others now in existence. they being diff
ficient on the principal subject of informa-
partment. Besides the plan or method ofar-
engagements, which excels all others-the
reader has only to turn to any one parti
Cular county within the state OF Virginia,
he will there find in one view not only all
the statistical, but all other useful infor-
nation embraced in that county. The
advantages, therefore, it has over all o.
theirs, will be readily perceived, not only
as a reference book, but as a volume OF
valuable and interesting history. Suffice
it TO say, that this work will be got up in
Charlottesville one of the central counties
of Virginia-and the publisher pledges
himself it shall, in style and execution, be
superior to any work of the kind that has
heretofore been offered to the public. All
that the publisher asks, to enable him to
do so, is liberal patronage.
