 repository of all important facts of the times, and of such public documents as were either necessary for their elucidation, or offered of themselves useful information of the progress of things throughout the world. Such a continuous publication for this continent had become an urgent want, and the work of Judge Stryker, so far as we can judge, seems about to supply it."—National Int.

"Stryker's American Register is just published, and shows increased skill in collecting and digesting the multifarious information which gives such a work its value. It is issued under the superintendence of Judge Stryker, well known as a former resident of this State, and who gives evidence of his ability to perform his task to the public acceptance. An annual register like this, is an indispensable work in the library of all who desire to keep themselves well acquainted with the history of the times. It is of great value both as a work of instruction and reference.—New York Evening Post.

"The Register is issued by Judge Stryker, and is, in our view, invaluable to every statesman, politician, merchant, financier, and statistician in the country. It abounds with facts, always reliable, and gleaned from the most authentic sources.

"A work like this has long been needed. Some of the most distinguished men in the country have commended it in the warmest manner. The editor is at once able, discriminating, and indefatigable. Such a treasury of valuable facts cannot be too liberally patronized."—Penn. Inq.

"—Almost every person at all connected with the active movements of the time, experiences the want of a regular, systematic collection of the historical documents of the day.

"Stryker's American Register and Magazine is published to meet this want. It is so far superior to anything else of the kind, and so really useful, that we deem it a public service to commend it to attention and support. It is conducted by Judge Stryker, and is published in a handsome bound volume semi-annually.

"Very few persons, even of those who need such a work most, give especial attention to its support. We beg them to examine this work, and to subscribe for it if possible; for every subscription aids in its circulation and in its permanent establishment."—New York Daily Times.

"Such a publication was a desideratum, as it combines, with a register of historical events, statistical information, an account of the developments of agricultural, manufacturing and mechanical industry, and a journal of letters, science, and the arts.

"This is an age in which instruction is based upon facts, instead of hypothesis, and truth is sought by experiment, demonstration, or exact induction instead of chimerical assumptions and bold assertions. Now, results are demanded in verification of theories.

"Stryker's American Register is, therefore, an invaluable acquisition; for it is, to a very considerable extent, an encyclopedia of instruction, annually revised, and thus presents the discoveries, improvements, and general march of the human race, in all quarters of the globe, in the honorable career of an exalted civilization."—Boston Courier.
