writes thus, g deem it no disparaeement to
the excellent systems of Geography now in
use, to say that this (Morses's) is superior to
any =; and shall accordingly take measures
to introduce it into the Academy in this
place"
Simeon Cotton, Preceptor of Monson Acade-
my, writes as follows: 81 have taken some
pans to compare it (Morse's Geography with
others OF similar design, and do not hest
tate to say, that in my opinion, this has the
advantage over all | have seen. The name
OF Morse undoubtedly stands at the head of
the Geographers OF his country.
Letter from Stephen Farley, Preceptor of A.
ElnsOn Acadenly.
" The work g. s. S. Z. Morse's School
Geography is one OF which highly approve.
1t certainly possesses uncommon merit. In
materials, the book is rich in plan, judicious
in erse'ttiOn, classical, able and happy. The
distinctions end classiGcations, in the work,
grounded on national phenomena and situa-
tton, "a point which seems to have been
strangely and almost entirely disregarded by
Geographers generality is peculiar excel
lence. The Tabular department is treasure
lnestlmable. 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,'
