in this city by Bailey & Noyes.
This work has been delayed beyond the time it
expected to be issued account of the scarcity
ofskilled workmen. Nothing is lost by the delay
as an additional richness is found In its contents.
This work opens with calander and the usual as
tronomical data. Then follow various articles and
tables connected with the statistics, condition and
legislation of this country, One of these tables
shows the national burdens and resources of this
country, compared with Great Britain and Ire
land, from 1893 to 1868, viz the ulation. value
ofre and personal property, increased value per
cent. in periods, property to each person, product
ofthe year. product TO valuation per cent increased
crty per cent. public debt per CAPITA annual charge
per capita, interest to annual product per cent.
Upon all that relates to the United States gener-
ally, and for respective States constituting the
Union, this Almanac gives vast amount of informa-
tion-it would be hard to say what it does not con-
tain Among the miscellaneous articles are opera
ons of the several armies of the United States in
1868; record ofimportant events for 1863; general
theological aud medical educational institutions of
the United States; population affected by immi-
gration-a paper in which the results of great re-
search are condensed with cearness and skill cleo
ton returns; religious statistics of the world; the
precious metals; and foreign and American me-
crology. As to foreign countries, map of informa-
ton quite astonishing for minuteness and accuracy
is here given.
