Thom has *ever, perhaps, been a period in modern his-
tory, when it could be lees necessary than at the present
moment, to enforce ramose for publishing a new system of
geography. The political events of the last few years, have
no entirely ehanged the territorial relations of different
States. that all existieg geographical works have been ren-
dered, hi a measure, obsolete. In this work. the mutations
which have taken place will be found minutely eaphsieod.

"Of the utility of such a work there can be no doubt,
while London abounds as it does with imposture and temp-
tation. As far as it has proceeded. it is executed with con-
siderable taste and truth. used deserves to AU a respectable
rank antoag works of practical philosophy. It is one of the

`3.1100000 would have been alive hs 1810, for what-

geometrical ratio, is. in the same* degree, arbitrary.
It is the mere dictum of Mr. Matches, and when be
Seas, as be always does, that this ratio of increase
has not hitherto acted, instead of doubting. as be-
ought, the truth of his hypothesis, he looks around

eemstances which have retarded or destroyed the eye.'
radon of a principle, of which he has bronght no
evidence that it ever existed. lint he even gives
these retarding circumstances themselves as evidence.
He calls them checks upon Fortieths., before he bas
proved, that population required such checks. " There
waist vice and misery in the world ; therefore these
prevent trianklad from doubling their number every
VP years !" Such is the reasoning—The poiat is
dispute is always taken for granted-
' Mere we to draw our inferences from a survey of
the world and its history, we shoald come to no such
conclusion as the principle of an unlimited increase.
Man is individuallg a transient visitor of the earth.
A few revolutions of the sun, and this proud being is
thrust from the scene. Is the race then permanent?
Many species of animals hare disappeared, and fill
our cabinets with their fossil remains. The mammoth
no longer ranges over the globe, though for a time'
he most have lived with extensive power. What vice,
misery, or me:al restraint has prevented the ulimited '
increase of the angels in the air, or of the sharks in
the ocean, where they reign paramount lords and
Inaste..? May not the law of increase—may not the
duration of life itself diminish as it radiates from the
primeval stock ? Something of this kind is observed
in vegetables, whose qualities deteriorate, and whose
seeds more and more degenerate as they are distant
fuse the parent tree. So far from having to frighten
ourselves with the idea et au overwhelming peptide-
don, have we not rather to fear that we are sinking
by degrees into a degenerate race, which in the lapse
of time may be swept from the globe? The earth
itself is probably not immortal, and why should its
pnny inhabitants? All these to be sure, are questions
of mere possibilities, but they are as probable and as
demonstrable, as the possibilities of Mr. Malthus. If
the-terms of the proposition do not involve a contra-
diction, there is no assertion with regard to future
contingencies, that can be proved to be untrue. But
possibilities are inhabitants of the land of dreams.
They may amuse In the closet, but they are useless is
the conduct of life; and ought to be far beneath the
notice of the legislators of nations.
