We print 10,000 copies of this edition.The following opinions, the first from the Austin Statesman, the leading Democratic Newspaper of Texas, and the second from Texas Siftings - speak out for themselves:[Austin Statesman.]Burke's Texas Almanac for 1882 is before us, filled beyond expectation with most admirable matter concerning Texas. It is, as it claims to be, an immigrant's hand-book, replete with every sort of information valuable to either the new comer or to the old settler. The book, however, is especially adapted to satisfying inquiry in other States about Texas, and to every thousand of them sent abroad it may be safe to say the information derived therefrom would lead thousands of settlers to Texas. People who seek information as to Texas from such sources as the Texas Almanac reach the conclusion, upon the accurate information therein contained, to come for the purpose of remaining. We would be pleased to see a hundred thousand of these valuable books sent to inquirers. Such a distribution would add millions to the wealth of Texas.[Texas Siftings.]Tho present volume is equal to any of its predecessors. This statement we consider the highest kind of praise, for Burke's Almanac has always been an excellent and valuable volume. It contains not only all that an almanac should, but a vast array of facts regarding Texas, her industries, resources, etc., with descriptions of soil and climate, and information regarding agriculture and sheep and cattle raising. It also contains a good map of the state. The publisher, J. Burke, Houston, Texas, will mail the Almanac and map to anyone sending him 50 cents.The Almanac for 1884 will be published December 1, 1883. Contributors and advertisers will please send in their favors by the 1st of October to insure publication.
