the publishers to offer their book before all the
ample census (of 1861 and other material in the
hands of the editors were fully dgestcd and acou-
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 cor
respondents In all parts of the United States, the
work has swelled to near 1900 pages. The
amount of new matter which il contains, all OF a
recent character, is very large, lin many in
stances embracing statistics and populations TO
1853. 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 ofths United States yet published

will be published in December, 1853. Price to
