A VALUABLE BOOK.

By Editor

A copy of "McCarty’s Annual Statistician," edition of 1887, lies before us. We do not know how to notice it properly except by saying that it contains everything. Doubtless this is not literally true, but if one attempts to look it through to enumerate the points upon which information is given, he will involuntarily use the same expression. It contains historical and geographical statistics of all countries, and, in fact, valuable information, in brief, on almost every subject. It is not bulky, being about 5x8 inches in size, and contains 648 pages. We should think that

it would be an almost necessary companion of men whose duties require them to travel, so that they cannot have constant access to a large cyclopedia, as it can be easily carried in a valise with other effects; and the man who stays at home will find it a handy volume to have on his desk. Price in cloth, $4.00. Address, L. P. McCarty, "Annual Statistician," 713 California Street, San Francisco, Cal.
