. The information obligingly furnished by William M. Campbell, Esq., contained in entire descriptions of St. Charles and several other counties, are so well written and so just, that the matter is published in his own language, without alteration. This gentleman was better prepared to contrib ute to this compilation than most of the correspondents of the compiler; for the reason that Mr. Campbell had been so licited to undertake a similar work, and was, at ihe time the prospectus for this publication issued, preparing matter for a gazetteer. In his professional pursuits in the circuit in which he practises as attorney and counsellor, he had, by close observation, made himself well acquainted with the resources of the country. As the object of Mr. Campbell in his contemplated publication was to promote the public weal, when he saw that a work of the kind, which was so much needed, was in progress, he cheerfully abandoned his project, and kindly furnished the aid above mentioned, for which the compiler takes pleasure in reiterating his grateful thanks.
