prominent and material interests that make and
distnguishethe several political and civil divis-
isons of the country; the physical pecularities,
the mineral and other resources, the capacities
for agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and
other industrial pursuits, and the present cond-

eertainments of the Seventh Census, taken in
1885, and other Federal and State returns

ternal improvements, with which, as Editor of
the Railway Guide" the author is infinitely ac-
quainted.
In compiling this work, two extremes, notcea-
BILE in Gazetteers hitherto published, have been
carefully avoided the one of which has been to
give mere catalogue of names and the other,
to select for description only such places as, by
their historical greatness, their extensive manu-
features, OF other special interests, have gained
notorious position This Ga&etteer notices each
state, county, city, village, and natural object,
Mt sncn lsetsAna length its Importance de-
mands, and in that terse and judciously compress
sed style so desirable in books of this description,
excluding all irrelevant detail, and dwelling only
on the most prominent and interesting features
II thus eomnends itself to all classes, occupying,
as IT does, n position between the abstruse and
popular, retaining the precision of the one, with
out its detail, and the interest of the other, with
out its vagaries 1t is an eminently practical
work, and to the commercial man, the traveller,
and statist; must be an indispensable companion.
