Excerpt from The American Almanac and Repository of Useful Knowledge, for the Year 1849 Tux twentieth volume of the American Almanac, being the tenth vol ume of the second series, is now offered to the public. The volume for 1819, which was the tenth volume of the first series, contained an index of such matters in those ten volumes as were not common to all the vol umes of the Almanac. A similar index to the ten volumes of the second series is appended to this volume. Unwearied pains have been taken to collect full, authentic, and varied information concerning the complex af filirs of the general and State governments, and a mass of oflicial docu ments and private correspondence has been digested relating to the govern ment, finances, legislation, public institutions, internal improvements, and resources of the United States. It is believed that the present volume is equal to its predecessors in fiilness 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.
