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 tie United States, the
work has swelled TO near 300 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 10
