Excerpt from N. W. Ayer and Son's American Newspaper Annual, 1880: Containing a Catalogue of American Newspapers, a Carefully Prepared List of All Newspapers and Periodicals Published in the United States, Territories and Dominion of Canada Owing to the magnitude of the work to be done, the information was solicited and to a great extent obtained during March and April, but the work of revision has gone on steadily ever since. The entire country has been canvassed in the interim, hundreds of personal letters written, and every endeavor made to bring the information down to the latest moment and the result of this untiring labor is that the book represents the condition of the Newspaper Press of the country as it stands to - day; and a careful examination of its contents will verify the assertion. It is not perfect: no work of the kind can be; but we have spared neither labor nor expense to make it more nearly so than any other Newspaper Directory published. As the work contains some features not to be found in any similar publication, a few words of explanation may not be out of place.
