The Alto■ California Pacific Coast and Trans - Continental Hail road Guide. Fred. MacCallish and Co., San Francisco. Joseph Braitliwaite, Dunedin.
1 Ins is a work of about 300 pages of care-fully-compiled reading matter, descriptive of the new mail route via Cal.fornia. Besides a most m.nute description of California, both of the State and ot the City, and equally complete narratives of its rise and progress. The work contains a map of the railroad, some capitally executed views of scenes of more than ordinary interest in the Golden C.ty and along the line of rail; a short hist .ry of the principal towns in the State ; a detailed description of the stopping places, stations, and notable points along the rail*
Way from San Francisco to Omaha; railway time tables ; and elaborate descriptions of every place worthy of notice on the road. To persons contemplating a visit to Cabfoinia or England, the work is invaluable; and will amply repay persual by those who are fond of statistical information whether agricultural, mineral, or commercial—for there is abundance of each of these in it.
