any and | shall accordingly take measures
to introduce it into the Academy in this
place."

"The work G.. Il S. E. Morse's Schoo!
Geography is one OF which highly approve.
1t certainly possesses uncommon merit. In
materials, the hook is rich IN plan, judicious
in execution, classical, able and huppy. The
distinctions and tlassifcaticns, in the work.
grounded on national phenomena and S;tua-
tio1I, Ga point which seems to have been
strangely and almost entirely disregarded by
Geographers generality is fecular excel
lenCe. The Tabular department is treasure
inestimable. Those tables, by which the
peculiar productions, and the commercial in
tercourse of the various portions of the globe
are indicated, have, in my view, very superb
or value. The work is worthy Of extensive
patronage, and will certainly receive it,
