Norman's New-Orleans and Environs: Containing a Brief Historical Sketch of the Territory and State of Louisiana, and the City of New-Orleans, from the Earliest Period to the Present Time: Presenting a Complete Guide to all Subjects of General Interest in the Southern Metropolis, with a Correct and Improved Plan of the City, Pictorial Illustrations of Public Buildings, etc. etc. New-Orleans: B. B. Norman.

We give the full title to show the design of the work; which is all that it professes to be — and a little more. — A very excellent and satisfactory volume, of about 200 pages duodecimo, neatly bound. There is a fine steel frontispiece of New-Orleans. Mr. Norman proposes to issue, on the first of next month, a map of the city to accompany the book now published.
