clear and comprehensive views of the local circumstances and
peculiar productions of each country; its works of art and ob-
jects of curiosity ; its politic:l state and foreign connections;
with the knowledge, manners, and customs of its inhabitants.
To these are added, such statistical and synoptical tables as ex-
hibit the natural resources, military strength, and commercial
importance of each State.
