GAZETTEER OF THE UNITED STATES

wv in December, LIPPINcoTT, GRAMBo 6 Co.'S
new and complete Gazetteer Of tho United States.
Edited by T. Baldwin and ]. Thomas, M D.
With new and superb map of the United States,
engraved on steel.
The publishers take pleasure in announcing the
completion of this, the most elaborate, compre-
hensive, and perfect Gazetteer Of the United
States that has ever issued from the press In its
preparation no considerations Of expense or labor
have been allowed to interfere with a work de-
signed to be as perfect as possible in every de-
partment, and in all Of its detail Nor have the
successive issues of other Gazetteers, hurried
through the press to claim the market, tempted
the publishers to offer their book before all the
ample census (of 1S50) and other material in the
hands of the editors were fully digested and accu-
rately arranged.
When the Gazetteer was first announced 800
pages, or at the most 900, were designed as the
limit Of the book. But so vast was the amount of
matter, accumulated through the personal labors
of the editors and their assistants, as well
through the active efforts Of several thousand cor
respondents in all parts Of the United States the
work has swelled to near 300 pages & The
amount of new matter which it contains, sf IF
recent character, is very large, and in many in
stances embracing statistics and populations to
1853. This gives il an intrinsic value over every
other work Of the kind in existence.
We therefore offer our Gazetteer confidently as
the only complete and thoroughly reliable Gaset-
teer ofthe United States yet published.
As above stated the work is now ready, and
will be published in December, 1853 Price to
subscribers, SO so; 10 non-subscribers, 81.
N. b. Those having subscribers for the work
will please forward their orders by the 1st of De-
cember, to
