Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Imperial Gazetteer, Vol. 1: A General of Geography, Physical, Political, Statistical, and Descriptive Next to a good Dictionary, the most generally useful book is a good gazetteer. At no time, probably, was such a work more urgently wanted than now, when the relations of this country with foreign parts have been so greatly extended, when the progress of British power and enter prise lias opened up so many new fields for scientific inquiry and commercial speculation, and when so many large and interesting additions have been made to our geographical knowledge but which, being mostly confined to special, and often expensive works, and to the transactions of learned societies, have not hitherto been accessible to the public generally. Such were some of the reasons adduced in the Prospectus for commencing to publish the imperial gazetteer, the first part of which was issued in July, 1850. Whatever value these reasons may have possessed at that period, it has gone on increasing at a rapid ratio, until now, at the close of the Work, the hostilities in which we are engaged with one of the mightiest empires of the earth, impart an additional and intense stimulus to the acquirement of geographical knowledge. In concluding this undertaking, which has occupied the Editor' S attention, more or less closely, for the last eight years, little more remains than to indicate the plan upon which the gazetteer has been written, and to note some particulars respecting its production. A leading aim throughout has been to maintain a proper medium between those works which give lengthy and elaborate articles, and consequently treat of a comparatively small number of places, and those which, by giving very short meagre articles, Often little better than registers of positions, are enabled to include an immense number of places. While in the number of articles the imperial gazetteer greatly exceeds works of the former, it does not fall much short of works of the latter class; for, by a rigid exclusion of irrelevant matter, by carefully avoiding the repetition of information in articles relating to the same subject-s, though necessarily arranged under different heads, and by adopting a concise style of writing, space has been found, generally speaking, to notice all known towns, having not less than 1000 inhabitants, and many even of a smaller popu lation, besides including the needful articles on countries, seas, lakes, rivers, mountain-ranges, &c.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement to the Imperial Gazetteer: A General Dictionary of Geography, Physical, Political, Statistical and Descriptive Since the time that the publication of the Imperial Gazetteer was completed, very extensive additions have been made to our knowledge of various parts of the world. Africa - Southern, Central, and Eastern - has been opened up greatly by Livingstone, Barth, Richardson, Overweg, Vogel, Baikie, Andersson, Burton, Speke, Grant, Baker, and other travellers. The journeys of the Gregories, Macdouall Stuart, Landsborough, the unfortunate Burke and Wills, M'Kinlay, and others, have changed our ideas regarding the interior of Australia, hitherto supposed to be covered with salt scrub, hard-baked mud, or burning sands, and have shown that immense tracts are suited for the abode of the hardy settler, and capable of grazing countless flocks of sheep and herds of cattle. In Eastern Asia the Russians have augmented our knowledge of the lands bordering the mighty river Amoor; the British and French expeditions to China, and the researches of intrepid travellers, have increased our information regarding the features, the products, and the people of the Middle Kingdom; while in the Arctic regions, new islands, straits, and seas have been added to our maps by the numerous daring explorers who endeavoured to track the course and solve the fate of the lamented Franklin. Much has been done likewise to increase our knowledge of the less known parts of North and South America; and short but sanguinary continental wars have brought about extensive changes in the political geography of Central and Southern Europe. In compiling the Supplement, thus rendered necessary by the progress of discovery, all the valuable works of travel, home and foreign that have appeared in recent years, have been consulted, and also the more important geographical and other periodicals published in this country, and in France, Germany, and America; and considerable additions of noteworthy facts have been obtained through the kindness of private correspondents.
