Offering "a correct knowledge of the structure of his own, as well as of other governments" -- the overall stated purpose of the larger portion of first volume and includes statistics from the 1850 Federal Census. The History of the War was originally planned to be contained within the first volume. However, the war "assumed such huge proportions and the gigantic struggle became so protracted, that it was found necessary ...to add the second volume. Hence, two different publication dates.
