There has never, perhaps, been a period when it
coastal be less necessary than at present to eufuree reasons for
publishing a New System of Geography. The political
events of the last six veara have, in fact, rende►ed all exist.
jug Geographical Works, to a certain degree, obsolete.
Within this period, likewise, cuts wising trav►llers have
spread in every direction, and communicated to the world
the result of their übservat' • . Ninny doubtful points of
science have thus been established; natty unexpected facts
have hems verified; the moral aspect of nations has been
vividly pourtrayed; the changes in manners and customs
and in political iiiilitence, taste beret ascertained; venerable
errors have been corrected ; important truths elucidated ;
end, in short, the energiea of nuimpeded intellect have been
applied to the survey of the world in such a way as offers
an ample share of novelty to the industrious Compiler of a
Geographical System. While, thee efoi e, the man of science,
the statesman, the merchant, the student, anal the traveller,
will find all that is unquestionable in preeediag Works, they
may expect to receive in this the a.lditioual information
shish subsequent re.earelies have supplied.
