writes thus, 81 deem it no disparagement 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."

pains to compare it (Morse's Geography with
others of a 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 Biographies of his country.
Letter from Stephen Farley, Preceptor o. IT.
kinson .4cademy.
" The work e.. & S. L. 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 execution, classical, able and happy. The
distinctions and classifcations, in the work.
grounded on national phenomena and situa.
tion, "a point which seems to have been
strangely and almost entirely disregarded. by
Biographies generality is "a peculiar 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 superi,
or value. The work is worthy of extensive
patronage, and will certainly receive it."
