mation, not only to the
traveller, but likewise to the man of business. In its preparation, an
entirely new plan has been adopted, which, we are convinced, needs only a
trial to be fully appreciated.
Among its many valuable features, are tables showing at a glance the
_distance_, _fare_, and _time_ occupied in travelling from the principal
cities to the most important places in the Union; so that the question
frequently asked, without obtaining a satisfactory reply, is here answered
in full. Other tables show the distances from New York, &c., to domestic
and foreign ports, by sea; and also, by way of comparison, from New York
and Liverpool to the principal ports beyond and around Cape Horn, &c., as
well as _via_ the Isthmus of Panama. Accompanied by a large and accurate
Map of the United States, including a separate Map of California, Oregon,
New Mexico and Utah. Also, a Map of the Island of Cuba, and Plan of the
City and Harbor of Havana; and a Map of Niagara River and Falls.
