The necessity of an annual volume like this, a.
book of reference to every citizen engaged in bu-
siness, as well as to travellers and spectators,
will be apparent to oil. 1t is needed to devellops
the resources of the State; to give useful informa-
ton to the emigrant, and 10 embody, in an access
sible compass, such valuable statistics rs can be
obtained from no other source.
Laying aside the considerations of utility, the
feeling of State pride would be sufficient motive
to sustain publication so well calculated to show
at view, the population, agricultural wealth, and
almost boundless resources ofthe State. The an
nual publication ofthe Register (the continuation
of which depends upon the patronage thei first
year, will give the publisher ample opportunt y to
keep up with the Improvements of the State and
make his volumes the annual records of the ad-
vance Of society in mercantile pursuits, in the arts
in education, and all that embellishes life.
j The publisher has been at the expense of send
ing an agent into every county in the State to OBJ
tain accurate statistics on which he could reley.
He has also made arrangements to have the State
map for the Register engraved by distinguished
artist in an eastern city. He has only to look to
generous public for reimbursement of these hea-
Wy expenses, and for sufficient patronage to make
it an object to continue the publication in future;
but, at the same time, he would scorn to ask any
favor that may not be fully earned by the intrinsic
merit and value of the Register.
He commends his enterprise to all classes of his
fellow citizens, to Judges, County Clerks, Regis.
tiers, and State officers who may have valuable in.
formation for such compilation, and whose inter.
est it may be to communicate the same for publ
cation.
