"Mr. Cates, in his 'Pocket-book of Dates,' has really done good service. He is evidently a lover of historical accuracy, and wishes everyone to be like himself.

All this has been done [unclear: care] and well; great facts have not been overlaid by little ones, and much judgment has been shown in the [unclear: omision] many subordinate events. We have only to add that the type and printing are clear and accurate, and that the 'get up' of the book adds another merit to those already mentioned."—The Times, November 28, 1863.
