GEOGRAPHY AND ATLAS ON A NEW PLAN.
Just published, a Secon.t Edition, in Royal ISmo. 3s. Gil.
neatly bound and lettered, embellished with numerousEn-
eravings, illustrating Manners, Customs, and Curiosities,
RUDIMENTS of GEOGRAPHY, on a
IN New Plan; designed to assist the Memory by Com-
parison and Classification
By W. C. 'WOODBRIDGE, A M.
The Geography is accompanied by an ATLAS, exhi-
biting, in connection with the Outlines of Countries, the
prevailing Religions, Forms of Government, Degrees of
Civilization, the comparative size of Towns, Rivers, and
Mountains; and the Climates and Productions on the
Earth, in royal 4t0., coloured, Ss. half-bound.
This Atlas has been compiled from the best authorities,
and contains all the late Discoveries of Parry, Weddell,
Denham, and Clipperton. But its principal claim to at-
tention is founded on the entire novelty of the plan. Each
Map presents, not only the geographical outlines of coun-
tries, but a series of numbers affixed to the mountains,
rivers, and cities, which indicate their comparative rank,
and enables the student, by reference to the Table of Classi-
fication, to discover their actual magnitude. The Isothor-
mal Chart exhibits the climate of different regions, as de-
termined by thermometrical observation, with their most
important productions, and presents a striking illustration
of the diversity existing in the same latitudes according to
the situation of countries.
I❑ the Moral and Political Chart, the outlines of each
country contain a Number, showing its population, and
several emblems indicatinz its government, religion, and
state of civilization, and forms, in effect, a moral picture
of the world.

a volume deserves : and if any thing can increase the po-

Literary Gazette, August, 1831.
(. The designs and engravings to this new and cheap
edition of Robinson Crusoe are of a nature that must ren-
der them equally desirable to the man of taste, the artist,
and the unitiated child. Let no one despise the title of
woodcuts when applied to' such little pictures as these.
When wood-cuts are executed with the feeling and taste of
those before us, they are much more to our taste than
small copper-plates as illustrations—they are more like the
pen and ink sketches of the artist—are more spirited and
fine in the drawing, and besides are more a part of the
book—when printed with the type they cannot be ex-
tracted without injury to the text. The artist and a
author
are inseparable. Mr. Harvey, who
se inveu n
have been most successfully exercised in illustrating this
elegant volume, has headed each chapter of Crusoe's ad-
ventures v. ith a small vignette, exhibiting his hero in the
most picturesque situations, and under the most varied
circumstances the subject would admit of. —Monthly Ma-
gazine, August, 1831.
" A third new edition of this delightrul book is pub_
lisped in a fine style by Baldwin, with cuts, and in one
volume, which is an improvement. The designs, by Har-
vey, are exceedingly characteristic and spirited."--Specta-
tor, August, 1831.
