Book excerpt: Excerpt from Madison, the Capital of Wisconsin: Its Growth, Progress, Condition, Wants and Capabilities Of this little work it need only be said, that it is chiefly made up of carefully prepared papers which have already been in print in some form 01 other corrected and brought down to the present time, to correspond with facts and things as they now exist. Something of the kind is needed to reflect the present condition, wants and capabilities of our thriving City. It has been two years since any pamphlet has been published on Madison, and then at private expense, and limited in size and number; since which the business of the City has fully doubled, and numerous hanges and improvements have been effected. The repeated and increasing demands from abroad, for full and detailed information relative to the business and prospects of Madison, have led our prominent citizens and business men to petition the Common Council to publish a large edition of a pamphlet on the growth, condition, statistics and prospects of our City. This request has been promptly met, by ordering 10,000 copies of this little work published. The statistics have been collected with much care, and may be generally regarded as reliable; and the several papers on the growth and capabilities of Madison and Dane County, have been prepared by competent persons, whose facts and statements are derived from the most authentic sources. Two brief articles on Wisconsin precede the papers on Madison, and these are introduced to show strangers who may design settling in the West, and may know but little of our State, that Wisconsin holds out inducements and advantages to be found in no other State or country. And of such a State is Madison the worthy political metropolis, whose history, condition and prospects are here attempted to be faithfully portrayed.
