THE CRITICAL REVIEW, Lninged, for January
1832; containing the usual I.Lintity of important Arti::irs,
drc.

The Critical Revietv has, of late, devoted a part of every
Number of its Appendix to an Examination of Maps arid
Charts--:a Branch of Criticism hitherto uncultivated in Great
Britain, and seldom attempted ori the Continent, out which
the growing Importance of Geovaphy seems importunately
to dennod.

Geography, as'a Science, is in its infancy. It.:ias long in-
deed farmed a department of littral Education ;
.and we haVe
multitudes of Maps and,Charts almost daily issuing from the
Pres.; but liar want of that critical superintendarice which
has presided over every other Branch of Literature, we have
few Designs •at present that will . bear the ordeal of rigid
scrutiny, and perhaps fewer Students in the•Sciencx who are
capable of applying-such a test. .
How • tar the Geographical Strieturgs which are meant to
be continued in the Critical Review,. may be able to accom-
plish these important objects, must be left to the Public to
determine- for itself. It 'is obvious,' hbwever, that Lineal
Geography is yet, totally desttlite- of such a.presiding and
beneficial power ; •and it. is
serious a defezT will meet with tile
support and assistance of every Friend to Literature.
