THE FOLLOWING WORKS ARE IN PROGress, AND WILL BE PUBLISHED DURING THE ENSUING SEASON, BY ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO. A STATISTICAL, POLITICAL, & HISTORICAL ACCOUNT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, from the period of the First Establishments to the present day, on a new plan. By D. B. WARDEN. Three Volumes in Octavo; with a New Map of the United States, and a Plan of the City of Washington. * Though a variety of books on the Topography, History, and Political situation of the United States, are already before the Public, the Author does not consider them as precluding the necessity of a work like the present. Independently of defects in the plan, the most valuable of the existing publications are not of a recent date; and this objection, though of little weight in some cases, is fatal to the usefulness of any work professing to describe a country like the United States; the progress of which is so rapid, that the best and most accurate account of its actual condition is superseded in a very few years by the changes constantly taking place. Besides, the subject is in itself so extensive, that though much has been done, it may be safely affirmed much remains to do, and that there is still ample room for the exercise of ingenuity and research, both in collecting materials, and in applying them to illustrate the various objects comprehended in the plan of the present work. The lapse of time, too, among other changes, has multiplied the sources of intelligence, has corrected many errors, developed many facts and events worthy of record, placed known objects in new lights, and greatly augmented the mass of materials from which an accurate account of the country must be derived. The author has been anxious to avail himself of all these advantages. He has collected a vast number of books, official reports, local descriptions, and journals, and he has diligently consulted these and every publication of whatever kind likely to assist his inquiries. To the information derived from the ordinary sources, he has been enabled to make considerable additions from the communications of intelligent correspondents in different parts of the Union. It has been his favourite occupation for some years to arrange and digest the multifarious materials thus collected, and the work now in the press contains the result of his labours. In the arrangement of his materials, the author has adopted a plan essentially different from those of his predecessors, and upon the advantages of this plan he partly rests his claim to public. favour. In common geographical works, information of various kinds is generally thrown together without much regard to order, and many interesting subjects are altogether excluded. But the object of a Statistical Work being to give a view of the public wealth and political power of a particular state, considered as a member of the community of nations, it admits of a variety of matter which is foreign to the design of a work on Geography. Facts and details of little absolute value, become of importance for the principles they establish, or the general results to which they lead; and hence the necessity of a more methodical arrangement, to exhibit the mass of facts and details given, in connection with the objects to which they refer, or the general truths they serve to illustrate. The work will be found to include a number of interesting tables, and a larger body of information respecting the population, revenue, and industry of the United States, not to be found in any single work hitherto published. These multifarious materials the author has en, deavoured to arrange in the order most convenient for reference, and best adapted to give a complete and correct view of the natural capacities, power, resources, and actual condition of the country he has undertaken to describe. The nature of the plan, however, will be better understood from the following sketch of the general heads under which the matter is distributed. |
