favor by forwarding it to the editor to be inserted in a subsequent volume. An article on the comparative ages of our white, free colored, and slave population contains some novel and curious calculations and results, founded upon the two last censuses taken in this country and in England A view of the plan adopted in Massachusetts for a complete registry of births, marriages and deaths, presents some interesting facts, and offers an excellent model for imitation in the other States. Another novel article presents some extraordinary statistics respecting private munificence for charitable objects in one of the great cities of the Union; and it is hoped that, in the course of another year, similar information may be collected in other quarters. The chapters upon the new State of Florida and upon Texas, contain pretty copious details respecting these new accessions to the brotherhood of States. A great amount of original matter will be found embodied in other portions of the work, which will be of use to the politician and the merchant, and for purposes of general reference. Grateful for the liberal patronage of the work in former years, the editor presents this volume to the public in the hope that it will be found to merit as kind a reception as was obtained by its predecessors.
