Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Newspaper Directory: 1899 Edition, a Complete List of the Newspapers and Periodicals Published in the Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland, With Particulars When the first edition of the "Canadian Newspaper Directory" was issued in 1892 the publishers were congratulated upon producing the most correct and comprehensive newspaper handbook of Canadian journalism ever presented to the public. In that issue over 200 more newspapers were reported than were given in the same year by any of the American Newspaper Directories which assumed to cover Canadian territory. The details were admittedly more accurate than those of any other Directory, while no previous compilation embraced a gazetteer of each town containing a newspaper office. The history of Canadian journalism was also the most complete that has yet been published, and has formed the ground work of every historical sketch of Canadian newspapers that has appeared since that time, though it is not in every case that due credit has been given to this work. The Directory, though the best of its kind yet issued, and though unanimously praised by the leading Canadian newspapers, was, we regret to say, not a financial success, and for this reason we have not felt justified in getting out another edition until now. In addition to the financial question, there were mechanical difficulties in the way, as no printing office in Montreal was equipped with a sufficient quantity of type and material of the kind required to get out the lists with the rapidity we desired. We have now, however, overcome this by the purchase of an outfit of type especially selected for the work, and we hope with the increased support of those who so warmly approved of the first edition, to issue it regularly hereafter. With our present outfit, we shall be able to keep the type standing, so that the cost of future editions may be somewhat reduced. Among the new features of this issue will be found four newspaper maps, covering the whole Dominion, and especially engraved for this work. This, we believe, is the first instance in which maps have been used in connection with a newspaper handbook to give special prominence to the newspaper towns. Maps have been issued, with other Newspaper Directories but these were general geographical maps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
