isties, year of establishment, size, circula-
ton, and advertising rates for ten lines one

A list of all newspapers inserting adver-
tisements,. arranged in States by coun ties
with the distinctive features and circulation
of each paper.
Also complete lists Of all the Religious or
Agricultural periodicals., of Medical, Com
mercial, Scientific, Educational, or any
other of the class publications, as we'll as
all publications printed in foreign languages.
1t contains besedes vast amount of gen
eral and statistical information of practical
value to almost every business man, and is,
inits line, as deserving place on desk or in
library as Websters Dictionary Or first
class encyclopedia.
One Of its chief features is carefully pre-
pared description Of every county in the
United States, setting forth its location, area,
adjoining navigable streams, the character
of its surface, the nature of its soil, its lead
ing crops and manufactures, its county seat
and population. A similar, but more ella
Sorate descriptive heading, is appended to
each State, Territory and Canadian Province.
These headings are subject to constant
and careful revision. The growth and de
yelopment OF the various sections is noted
and embodied in them from year to year,
thus forming valuable compendium Of the
physical features and the agricultural and
manufacturing resources of the country.
Another valuable feature has recently been
added to these headings. They now show,
from the United States census of 1880, the
number Of manufacturing establishments of
all kinds at that time; the amount of capital
invested in them, the number of hands EN-
ployed, and the value of annual products.
The State headings show, in addition to the
summary Of the foregoing, the amount paid
in wages, and the value of the raw material
used.
l, gives the population of every State,
Territory, County and county seat; of all
the large cities and towns, and of almost
every place in which newspaper is publish
ed, taken either from the United States con-
sus Of 1880; or from the State census of 1885,
in every instance where such census was
taken, or from recent careful estimates.
1t also gives the political majority of every
State, Territory and, County, and the num-
Der of votes polled by the Greenback and
Prohibition parties at the Presidential cleo
ton of 1884.
Among the exhaustive and interesting ia
bles are those showing the cities, towns and
villages Of the United States having popu-
lation Of FIVE thousand and upward, arranged
in alphabetical order; how many counties
there are IN each State; in how many Of these
newspapers are published; in how many
towns of each State papers exist, and how
many of these towns are county seats, and
how many newspapers there are altogether
in the country at large, or in any of its great
sections, or in any S tate, Territory or Cana
dian Province, or how many there are of
each issue, and comparative statement of
the increase in 1886 over 1855.
Absolute perfection in a work of this
character is'an impossibility, but we have
the consciousness that all thar painstaklng
effort could'do to prevent error has been
done in the present edition.
