Summary
Thanking him for a copy of "The Statesmans Year Book;" adding "The idea of giving us the very last years history, geography, & statistics, of the different States throughout the world was a very bold one, & so far as I have been able to glance at the accounts of those countries with which I am acquainted, it is carried out with great ability & accuracy. I sincerely hope the book will find public support. Of its utility there can be but one opinion."
