When the Gazetteer was first announced 500

matter, accumulated through the personal labors
of the editors and their assistants, as well as
through the active efforts Of several thousand cor,

work has swelled to near 1900 pages The
amount OF new matter which il contains, all of
recent character, is very large, and in many in
