Excerpt from Virginia, a Hand-Book: Giving Its History, Climate, and Mineral Wealth, Its Educational, Agricultural, and Industrial Advantages

Many paragraphs are selected from the former hand-books and reports of the Department of Agriculture, especially in the description Of the separate coun ties, and I have also used the county hand-books prepared in the last few years by intelligent and reliable gentlemen under the direction of their boards Of supervisors. I am also indebted to the mayors of the cities and presidents of colleges of the State for aid in securing reliable statistics, and to the Hanujae turers' Record for industrial statistics and the Southern Planter for special agricultural facts.

The object of this work and the theory of this book may be stated in a few words to be plainly and correctly to answer fully all the questions which any inquiring immigrant has asked or may ask in regard to the Old Dominion, and thus to correct misrepresentations of our country and people.
