Abstract | This is the 18th volume of the bound periodical, "American Journal of Education." This work, the initial volume of a proposed annual publication, has been prepared to meet an increasing demand for information respecting the affairs of the General and State Governments, public institutions, finances, resources, and trade of this country; the political, financial, and social condition of other countries; and various other subjects relating to social and political economy. Part I, or the Astronomical Department, has full calendar pages, embracing the sun's rising and setting, moon's phases, length and increase of days, and beginning and end of twilight for eight different parallels, and covers the Jewish and Mahommedan calendars, and other important celestial phenomena. Part II contains a full list of the principal officers of the General Government, and of the different sessions of Congress from the first Congress to the present time, among other lists. It also contains a brief historical notice of each state and territory, a list of the executive and judicial officers, and an account of the finances, debts, resources, educational and charitable institutions, population, and industry of each. Part III contains an account of Foreign Countries (America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australasia and Polynesia), their area and population, constitution and government, finances, army, navy, commerce, and other important facts. Part IV gives a full account of the religious condition of the world, with ecclesiastical statistics of different countries and denominations. Part V embraces miscellaneous essays on Agriculture, Currency and Finance, Mining, and Literature, written by persons who have made these subjects a study. Part VI contains full Presidential election returns for all the States from 1836 to 1868; a summary of the most important events for 1868, and obituary notices of eminent persons who have died during the year.
