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 work de-
signed TO be as perfect as possible in every de-
partment, and in all Of its detail. Nor have the
successive issuessof other GaAetteers, hurried
through the press to claim the market tempted
the publishers TO offer their book before all the
ample census (of 1861 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 300, 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 as
through the active efforts of several thousand cor
respondents in all parts of the United States the
work has swelled to near 1900 pages. The
amount of new matter which il contains. all of a
recent character, is very large, and in many in
stances embracing statistics and populations to
1898. Inns gives II 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-
feer OF ne United States yet published.
As above stated, the work Is now ready. and
will be published in December, 1859 Price to
subscribers, 50 so; TO non-subscrbers, 81.
