This volume meticulously documents the transatlantic passage of individuals from the United Kingdom to America during a specific seven-month period in 1874, serving as a vital resource for genealogical and historical research. Drawing from original ship manifest schedules filed under the Congressional Act of 1819, this book provides a detailed record of immigrants. The author, Ira Glazier, a recognized authority in immigration studies, presents passenger lists that allow for the tracing of movements from countries of origin to U.S. ports. The data includes names, ages, sex, occupations, nationalities, residences, and destinations, enabling researchers to distinguish between immigrants, returning aliens, and transit passengers.

This volume is an indispensable tool for genealogists and historians specializing in 19th-century American immigration. Its value lies in the direct transcription of primary source material, offering unparalleled accuracy for tracing ancestral movements. The inclusion of a comprehensive name index further enhances its utility for researchers seeking specific individuals or family units within this defined period.
