Map of the United States engraved upon steel, in
course Of publication by Lppincott Grambo and CO.,
Phadelp ha.The publication Of this, the most clabo
rate, thorough and complete Gazetteer of the United
States ped, has been delayed by the ABSOLUTE
mpossbiity of obtaining the JiH and complete Census
returns without which any work of the sort must to-
tally fail the purpose for which GazetteeI
is especially needed The moment publication Of the
Census returns is made by Congress-now looked for
daIly-ths work will be completed and issued
The plan upon which this new Gazetteer is arranged
will be fonnd superior any yet attempted, and per
ectly adapted to the wants and convenience OF those
who consult its pages This arrangement is strictly al
phabetica that, by referring to any name, the
reader will be put possession of all the requisite facts
and be under the necessity OF referring to one page
for description Of place. and to another for tho sta
tistics.
Besides containing everything of value that is to be
found in any other Gazetteer, very large amount oil
and valuable information, received during the past
FIVE years from two-housand correspondents, IN
all part. of the country will give to this new 1azettee
value incomparaby beyond other work OF the same
character Especially will be found original aud val
table, giving particular information about the newer
portions of country; and will contain notices oil some
thousands Of s,t0wnshps, and villages not naneh IN
any Gazetteer yet published.
IL will be seen from this that Lippncot, Grambo d
new Gazetteer of the United States will be the only
one UP to the time and, therefore, of real value Inc
causes which have retarded its publication Involve "

Inaddtion to the all important advantages abOvs men
toned il will have the indispensable element OF com
petness with regard the various satisfies OF the United
