CONCLUDING NOTE.

In a work of this kind, containing so many thousand proper names, it is almost impossible not to commit an occasional error; and I earnestly request that those who may consult the volume, and can furnish me with corrections, will promptly do so, and thereby benefit the public and place me under obligations. Any additional facts will also be thankfully received.

Address,

CHARLES LANMAN, Georgetown, District of Columbia,
