“It is greatly improved upon the previous year’s issue, and now forms one of the handiest and most ccm- 
plete volumes of American Statistics which we have seen. To some extent, it copies the form of the ‘British 
Almanac and Companion’ in giving separate essays on selected subjects ; but its chief value lies in the con- 
densed tables of statistics relating to American industry and trade, which appear to be very carefully drawn 
up.”—The Times. 
‘“The second number of Mr. Spofford’s statistical annual differs from its predecessor in containing only the 
most indispensable official tables. The work is also improved in arrangement, comprehensiveness, and utility. 
A volume which undertakes to supply a ‘Treasury of Facts’ is generally found to be an unwieldy mass of useless 
rubbish. The present work is an exception to this rule, inasmuch as it contains a very large amount of informa- 
tion that will be found valuable to students of the demography of America, and no ‘ padding.’ When statistical 
information other than American is given, it always has some bearing on the point under consideration. As far as 
we can see, the figures of this publication are more carefully printed and more to be relied on than American 
statistics usually are.”—The Statist. 
‘© A work which does for the United States most of what ‘ Whitaker’s,’ and part of what the ‘ British Com- 
panion,’ do for this country, deserves a word of recommendation.”—Saturday Review, 
€ One of the most complete and convenient reference books published. This yolume is one which few com 
mercial men could afford to be without.”’—Mixing Fournal. 
“Contains much valuable information, chiefly of a statistical kind. It is well arranged, and care is manifest 
every page.” —Mining World.
