2000 imperial 8vo. pages. $6.00. 
It has evidently been prepared with great labor, and, as far as I can 
judge, from the best materials and sources of information. . . . I 
have no doubt it will be found an extremely useful work, well calculated to 
supply a want which must have been severely felt by almost every class 
of readers.—From the Hon. Epwarp Everett. 
Having long felt the necessity of a work of this kind, I have spent no 
small amount of time in examining yours. It seems to me so important to 
have a comprehensive and authentic gazetteer in all our colleges, acade- 
mies, and schools, that I am induced in this instance to depart from my 
general rule in regard to giving recommendations. . . . Therising 
generation will be greatly benefited, both in the accuracy and extent of 
their information, should your work be kept as a book of reference on the 
table of every professor and teacher in the country.—From the Hon. 
Horace Mann, LL.D., President of Antioch College. 
It gives me pleasure to be able to say that I have found it, as far as 
examined, not only very correct, but very full and comprehensive; and 
that I consider it a desideratum alike to the scholar and the man of 
business, as well as a very valuable contribution to our American litera- 
ture.—From Exipuater Nort, D.D., LL.D., President of Union College. 
This is a great work, and executed with immense labor and consummate 
ability. . . . It would be difficult to find another volume in the Eng- 
lish language which contains, in the same space, an equal amount of im- 
portant, well-digested, and clearly-expressed information. I see not how 
the office or the counting-room, the family or the school, can anywhere afford 
to do without this book.—From Prof. C. E. Srowz, Andover Theo. Seminary,
