| Mai. pans born. the well known compiler Of
| the B. and o. Red Book, which has become the
standard political text book Of the country, is
| now engaged with large force Of assistants u
preparing aspecial edition of tile Red Book
which promises to be quito unique thing in
political literature. It is TO be issued under the
taking title Of ( How Twas Done: The Political
Revolution 81 1852 z
Within the most artistica1ly engraved covers
by the American Bunk Note Company will be
embraced the official results Of the election just
held, and arranged SO perfectly and intel hgently
that the veriest amateur in such statistics can
not fail to comprehend them. The figures will
be given on State ticket and on Congressional
ticket in separate tables, the former by counties
and the latter By counties and districts. In
both tables comparisons will be made with the
vote ut the last preceding election in each State
the returns Of which viii be given in full in
order that the understanding OF the situation
may be complete. In States whe Re the Con-
gressional districts have been changed since
1885, the districts will be shown as now censti-
tuted, thus demonstrating what the result
would have been two years ago had the same
counties composed the districts then as now.
Independent, Prohibition and Greenbaek figures
will be given in addition to the regular Repub-
ican and Democrat, and in each county the
vote of each party will be shown with majori-
ties, gains and losses, both years. together with
total vote of county, congressional district and
State Statistical tables will also be included
in the book, showing upon similar full and
comprehensive scale the vote for President in
1875 and IN 1880.
In no publications of ike character are such
clear and exhaustive tabular statements at
tempted as in the B. and 0. Red Book, and the
forthcoming special edition will eclipse any
previous edition in extent and interesting char
in fhe remarks accompanying the returns will
be the details IF the changes IN congressional
districts, the congessmen-eleot and the IN
successful candidates in each State, as well rs
the members OF the next Congress complete
and the changes in that body as compared to
the last Congress. Much other data will be
given, and In the way of a thorough under
standing Of exactly How Twas Done = it
would be difficult to imagine e more interesting
and reliable source Of explanation than will
be this new edition of the B. and O. Red Book.
Like its predecessor, it viii be sent without any
cost whatever to all who make application for
it to G. K Lord General Passenger Agent B. &
o. r. R.. Baltimore, Md.
The Red Book is as matter of course an
advertisement Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, but it combines SO much of general in
terest to the public with comparatively SO little
about the road that it is far NOR valuable than
ninc-tenths the publications Of the character
placed on sale.
The B. and o. Red Book is by heavy odds the
llandsomest political work from a Topographic
cal standpoint issued in the United States,
being always printed with exquisite taste on
| fine paper and bound in the best manner. il
certainly is worth the little trouble accustomed
In writing for it, and it is hazareling nothing to
predict that the new special edition devoted to
the election which has just taken place will be
| pre-eminently the textbook of 1852.
T. As there will doubtless be an immense de-
| mand for the book. it would be well for all
desiring copy to write at once to Mr.. Lord. as
| the edition will be sent ont to those making
application on the principal of first come first
| served. Envelopes will be addressed as appli-
| cations come in, 50 that there may be no delay
| in mailing when the work is received from the
| binder.
