Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Almanac and Repository of Useful Knowledge for the Year 1852 The twenty-third volume of the American Almanac, being the third volume of the third series, is now offered to the public. Unwearied pains have been taken to collect full, authentic, and varied information concerning the complex affairs of the general and State governments; and a mass of official documents and private correspondence has been digested relating to the government, finances, legislation, public institutions, internal improvements, and resources of the United States, and of the several States. It is hoped that the present volume will be found equal to its predecessors in fulness and accuracy, and that it will sustain the high character of the American Almanac as a trustworthy manual for reference and a full repository of useful knowledge. The Astronomical Department has been prepared by Lieut. Charles Henry Davis, U. S. N., Superintendent of the American Nautical Almanac. We are authorized to expect, for the next volume, from the Superintendent of the Coast Survey of the United States, authentic geographical positions and corrected establishments of the principal ports of the United States on the western coast. The want of these has prevented us from introducing the principal points of California and Oregon into the calendar pages for this year, knowing that Professor Bache´s determinations would render material changes in the future calculations for those places indispensable. The article upon "The Recent Discoveries in Astronomy," with its numerous authorities, will be found very valuable for reference. The Meteorological Information covers many points in our extended country, and the series of tables published in the work annually are valuable for comparison. In the Second Part of the volume will be found full lists of the Executive and Judiciary of the General Government; of Collectors of Customs, of Postmasters in the principal cities, of Army and Navy Pension Agents, and of the Indian Superintendents and Agents under the new organization of that department; of the Army, and the various Military Posts, Military Divisions, &c.; of the Navy, the public vessels, and the Marine Corps; of our Ministers and Consuls in Foreign Countries, and of Foreign Consuls in the United States. These have all been corrected from official sources to the latest dates possible for publication. Later changes are noted in the "Additions and Corrections," at the end of the volume.
