"As a manual and brief summary of the whole range of speculative inquiry, I know of no work which strikes me more favorably."
Annual Cyclopædia
FOR 1870.
In addition to its usual information on all the Civil, Political, Industrial Affairs of each State, and of the whole country, it contains very complete details of the UNITED STATES CENSUS. A complete account of the origin and progress of the GERMAN-FRENCH WAR, and a very full exhibition of the present state of Europe, Population, Nationalities, Wealth, Debts, Military Force of the different Countries and an EXPLANATION OF ALL THE EXISTING EUROPEAN QUESTIONS, are presented.
The Discoveries, Events, and Developments of the year are fully brought up, together with the History and Progress of all Countries of the World during the year; and the volume is Illustrated with Maps, and fine Steel Portraits of General Robert E. Lee, General Von Moltke, and King Victor Emmanuel.
This work is the Tenth of a Series commenced in 1861, and published, one volume annually since, in the same style as the "New American Cyclopædia," and is, in fact, an addendum to that invaluable work. Each volume, however, is complete in itself, and is confined to the results of its year.
THIS VOLUME ALSO CONTAINS A COMPLETE INDEX TO ALL THE "ANNUALS" HERETOFORE PUBLISHED.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
The New York World, speaking of this work, says: "The past volumes of the annual series have all been good; but that which has been recently added is excellent, in fact, it might be said to have approached perfection. No final Word is needed to express the genuine admiration which this work, in its conception, execution, and publication, deserves. No private library in the country should be without it or its predecessors."
