Of tho one hundred and forty-one works of 

 the Statistical Class, there are few perhaps of 

 other than local interest except the 4th volume 

 of the United States Census for 1860, which at 

 rather a late date gave the educational, philan- 

 thropic, religious, and miscellaneous statistics 

 collected in that enumeration. The Statistical 

 Almanacs, and the Gazetteers of the different 

 States, which with the Business Directories 

 make up the greater part of this class, possess 

 much local value, but hardly require a place in 

 such a record as this. The following have 

 more general interest: "The List of the Union 

 Soldiers Buried at Andersonville ; " Mr. J. Dis- 

 turnell's " U. S. Register or Blue Book for 1 866 ; " 

 " The American Ephemeris and Nautical Alma- 

 nac for the Year 1867 ; " " The Preliminary Re- 

 port on the State Census of New York ; " Hitch- 

 cock's " Chronological Record of the American 

 Civil War, from November 8, 1860, to June 3, 

 1865;" "The American Annual Cyclopaedia, 

 for 1866 ; " Mr. William P. Blake's " Annotated 

 Catalogue of the Principal Mineral Species 

 hitherto recognized in California and the ad- 

 joining States and Territories, being a Report 

 to the California State Board of Agriculture ; " 

 "Ashcroft's Railway Directory for 1866;" 

 " The United States Official Army Register of 

 the Volunteer Force of tho United States Army 

 for the Years 1861 -'65, Part IL, New York anil 

 New Jersey;" Kelly's "American Catalogue, 

 comprising Books published in the I 

 States (original and reprints), from January, 

 1861, to January, 1866," etc., etc.; "Tho 

 Metric System, a Compilation ; " u A Complete
