Excerpt from A Dictionary, Geographical, Statistical, and Historical of the Various Countries, Places, and Principal Natural Objects in the World, Vol. 1 of 4
Is this new and revised edition of Mr. M'cullooh's Dictionary, the changes have been marked which the world has undergone in the lapse of a quarter of a century. Short as is the time, these changes have been neither few nor unimportant. Whole kingdoms have disappeared from the political map of the globe; empires have refixed their bound aries, and nations have reformed their existence. In the course of less than a generation of men, an immense network of iron roads has come to encircle the civilised world; vast navies of commerce have been launched upon the ocean; and races the most distant have been brought together by the new agents of progress - steam and electricity. To register all these marvellous innovations, without altering the character of the Dictionary, has been the duty of the present editor.
