to the government. The railroads
control much Of the capital Of the

THE HISTORY Or CAIRO.

, To The People OF Cairo
| had expected to finish the man
uscript of my history of Cairo long
before this time. but have not been
able to do so. / am now. however,
very sure that it will be in the print
er's hands early in May, and that the
book will be ready for delivery to
those who may de7ire copies by the
end of June, or very near that time
It will contain about three hun.
dred and fifty pages, and about thir.
ty maps and other illustrations, and
be bound in cloth aud in half-leather,
and be sold for $500 per copy in
cloth, and $500 per copy IN leather
For such local history there will
be few sales elsewhere than in the
city; and that may know about the
number of copies that will be need
ed. | shall have one or two persons
call upon the people of the city to
ascertain who may desire to purchase
the book They viii be able to show
something in the nature of samples
of the volumes. Persons who may
not be seen may send their names TO
me
The prices named are as low as !
can make them, and are not above
the actual cost of the printing. en-
craving and binding, unles there
should be a much larger sale than |
now EXPECT; this, too, without regard
to my own work and the expenditure
of several hundred dollars in its
prosecution.
