Excerpt from An Accompaniment to Mitchell's Reference and Distance Map of the United States: Containing an Index of All the Counties, Districts, Townships, Towns, &C., In the Union

To trace the features, develope the resources, and record the improvements of any portion of the earth, has been always regarded by those desirous of possessing general information, as a topic worthy of peculiar attention; and to no portion of mankind do these subjects present more interesting views, than to the citizens of the United States. Occupying a vast region, yet but partially explored, and operating on a system of internal improvements on a grander scale than any other people, they are marching forward to national greatness, with a rapidity unexampled in the annals of the world. These circumstances have caused works which illustrate the geography, topography, and statistics of the Union, to be regarded with general attention and, not unfrequently, to be liberally patronized.

This Accompaniment, together with the Map to which it is an appendix, is respectfully offered by the publisher to his fellow-citizens, under the persuasion, that (together) they will be found to contain a greater amount of useful geographical, topographical, and statistical information, than any similar work hitherto published in the country.
