preparation no considerations of expense or labor
have been allowed 10 interfere with work de-

successive issues of other Gazetteers hurried
through the press to claim the market, tempted
the publishers 10 offer their book before all the
ample census tof 1850 and other material IN the
hands of the editors were fully dgested and accu-
rately arranged.
When the Gazetteer was first announced 500
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 as
through the active efforts OF several thousand
respondents in all parts of the United States the
work has swelled 10 near ] 300 pages. The
recent character, is very large, and in many in
stances embracing statistics and populations 10

other work Of the kind in existence.
