The 1926 output was printed in Cambridge, Massachusetts by The University Press . Boston Bookbinding Company of Cambridge produced the covers. Thirteen books enclosing twenty-three volumes comprise the encyclopedia, which includes a supplement after Volume 23. Each book contains about 1600 pages. A great deal of biographic material is recorded in the New International Encyclopedia. The supplement includes a short paragraph on the activities of a Bavarian named Adolf Hitler from 1920-24. Many of the names which are used to describe the scientific identities of plants and animals are now obsolete. Numerous colorful maps which display the nations, states, colonies, and protectorates which existed early in the 20th century are included. The maps are valuable for their depictions of national and colonial borders in Europe, Asia, and Africa at the time of World War One . Drawings, illustrations, and photographs are plentiful, too. CONTRIBUTORS AND OFFICE EDITORS More than five-hundred educated men and some women submitted and composed the information contained in the New International Encyclopedia. :◊Editors of the First Edition

::The thirteenth census ( 1910 ) of the United States gave the total population of Baltimore as 558,485, divided into 118,851 families, occupying 101,905 dwellings. Of this number, 268,195 were males and 290,290 were females; 481,442 were native born and 77,043 were foreign born. The total number of whites was 473,387 and of Colored 85,098. Of the native whites, 261,474 had native parents and 134,870 had foreign parents.
::While it is claimed for Boston that it still retains its old American spirit and character, the city has a larger foreign element than many other large American cities. The percentage of people of foreign birth in 1890 was 35.37, and those of foreign parentage constituted 60.9; while in 1900 the former constituted 34.8 %, and in 1910 35.9 %, of the total population. Of the foreign nationalities, the Irish are most strongly represented. The largest immigration of Irish took place in the decade 1845 - 55 , the immigrants settling in the once fashionable section of the North End. The Scottish , English , and German s are represented in much smaller numbers, while in later years the immigration has been made up largely of Italian s and Russian Jews , the latter having taken the place of the Irish in the North End of the city. The Colored population is very small, having been less than 12,000 in 1900 and under 14,000 in 1910 .
::The city had increased in 1870 to 298,977, ranking fifth among American cities; in 1880 , to 503,185, ranking fourth; in 1890 to 1,099,850, ranking second; in 1900 , to 1,698,575; and in 1910 , to 2,185,283, still ranking second. (The exact number of people is unknown, however, due to the rapid increases). ::Chicago has a remarkably high per cent (36) of foreign-born population, and of the native-born, 54 % are of foreign parentage. Of the foreign nationalities the , 501,832; Austria , 227,958; Ireland , 204,821; England and Scotland , 85,894; Canada , 66,453; Russia , 184,757; Scandinavian Countries , 184,747; and various other countries of Europe , 303,909; making a total under this classification (exclusive of Canadians) of 1,693,918, i. e., about 77 and one-half per cent of the entire population of the city. The population rose to 2,701,705 in 1920 , an increase of approximately 23 %. 44,103 Negro es were enumerated in 1910 .
::There are few Negro es, but many foreigners, the foreign born in 1910 numbering 195,700, or more than one-third of the total. (Population in 1910 , 560,663). Among the foreign born the German s are predominant, constituting in 1910 about 29 %. Bohemia ns and other Slav s come next with 18 %, and thereafter the Hungarians with 11 %, the Russians with 9 %, the Irish with 8 %, the English with 6 %, the Italian s with 4 %, and the Canadian s with less than 4 %. The native whites of foreign parents numbered 171,560, and with the foreign-born inhabitants made up 75 % of the city's population.
::(The total population accelerated from 285,704 in 1900 to 465,466 in 1910 and to 993,739 in 1920 ). (The following information may indicate the 1910 figures, not those of 1920, despite the wording). Of the last, 156,565 were foreign born, the German and Canadian elements being the largest. About two-thirds of the native born were native white of foreign parents. The Colored population numbered only 5,741.
::Of the population, 61.8 % are white of native parents, 18.3 % white with foreign or mixed parents, and 9.5 % Negro . (Total population in 1910 , 248,381).
::There were 27,686 persons of foreign birth and 89,262 Negro es. Of the former, about 8000 were Italian s, 6000 German s, 3600 French , and 3000 Irish .
::In 1910 , the foreign-born whites numbered 1,927,703, or 40.4 % of the total population of the city. In Manhattan alone, 47.4 % of the population was foreign born. The Negro population in 1910 numbered 91,709.
::Of the white population 61.9 % is of foreign parentage, but native whites of foreign parentage comprise 32 % of the entire population. The Negro es numbered 84,549 in 1910 ; Chinese , Japanese , and Indians , 1,177. The largest classes of European descent are Irish , German , Russian , English , and Italian . French , Greek s, Armenians , Hungarians , Bohemia ns, and Poles are present in lesser numbers. (In 1910 , 1,549,008 people lived in Philadelphia).
::In 1910 , 393,469 were native born, 140,436 foreign born, and 191,483 of foreign or mixed parentage. The great industries of the Pittsburgh district draw this large alien population. The Colored population in 1910 was 34,217, or 6.4 % of a total population of 533,905.
::From 1810 , the date of the first Federal census, to 1880 , the totals include with the city of Saint Louis the population of Saint Louis County, which in 1880 was separately enumerated at 31,888. The great growth between 1840 (35,979) and 1850 (104,978) had for one of its causes the German Emigration following the Revolutionary Movement Of 1848 . This influence has been continuous. In 1910 , 47,765 out of the total of 125,706 foreign-born residents of the city were natives of the German Empire . This was 38 %, exclusive of Austria ns of German race. In 1910 , 11.3 % of the foreign-born population was of Irish nativity, 4.1 % of English , 12.3 % of Russian , 6 of Italian , and 8.8 of Austria n. Although the total of foreign-born is comparatively small, the native population born of white foreign parents is 246,946, the native population born of native white parents being 269,836. The Negro population was 43,960. (In 1910 , 687,029 people lived in the city).
::In 1910 , San Francisco had a population of 416,912, 50.3 % of the population being native whites, 43.1 % foreign-born whites, and 6.4 % belonging to Colored races. There were 24,137 German s, 23,151 Irish , 9,815 English , 6,244 French , 4,641 Austria ns, 10,582 Chinese , and 6,988 Japanese . The number of Chinese is diminishing, while the Japanese are increasing slowly or not at all. The Chinese are segregated in a quarter of their own, which has been rebuilt since the fire with almost, if not all, of its former charm and color, while Japanese colonies may be found in several parts of the city.

RAILROADS The names of many of the railroads which had existed early in the twentieth century are mentioned at thousands of place names. ::::EXAMPLES
:In 2005, the well-constructed, sturdy Pan Handle (Railroad) bridge is an important transit bridge which carries electric trolleys (streetcars) across the Monongahela river. It is the third-to-last bridge over that river before the river meets with the Allegheny to form the Ohio river.
PONY EXPRESS FEES
The quickest trip was that made for the delivery of President Lincoln 's inaugural address. About 1400 miles (2253 km) from St. Joseph, Mo. to Sacramento, Cal. being covered in 7 days and 17 hours. Mail passing through Panama required about 22 days. The first Pony Express left on April 3, 1860 . Eventually there were 190 stations, 200 station keepers, 200 assistant station keepers, 80 riders, and between 400 and 500 horses. The company ceased operations in October, 1861 , on the completion of the line of the Pacific Telegraph Company . MAPS LIST OF 172 MAPS (1926 EDITION, IN COLORS)
