The New American Cyclopædia is popular without being superficial, learned but not pedantic,
comprehensive but sufficiently detailed, free from personal pique and party prejudice, fresh and
yet accurate. It is a complete statement of all that is known upon every important topic within
the scope of human intelligence. Every important article in it has been specially written for its
pages by men who are authorities upon the topics of which they speak. They are required to
bring the subject up to the present moment, -to state how it stands now. All the statistical
information is from the latest reports; the geographical accounts keep pace with the latest explo-
rations; historical matters include the freshest just views; the biographical notices not only speak
of the dead, but also of the living. It is a library of itself.

of the United States, from the Organization of the first Federal Congress in 1789 to 1856. Edited
