new and complete Gazetteer of tie United States
Edited by I. Baldwin and J. 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 possible in every de-
partment, and in all of its detail. Nor have the
successive issues Of other Gaxetteers, hurried
through the press to claim the market, tempted
the publishers to offer their book before all the
ample census fof 1850 and other material in the
hands of the editors were fully digested and accu-
rately arranged.
When the Gazetteer was first announced 500
pages, or at the most 900, were designed as the
limit oil 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
respondents in all parts of the United States, the
work has sweled 10 near 1900 pages. The
amount OF new matter which il contains, all of
recent character, is very large and in many in
stances embracing statistics and populations to
1888. 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 ofhhc United States yet published
As above stated, the work is now ready. and
will be published in December, 1853. Price 10
subscribers, SO so; 10 non subscriber. 81
