Letter from Stephen Farley, Preceptor of Al
kigaSo1s O4cademy.
"The work G.. & S. T.. Morse's Schoo
Geography is one OF which highly approve
1t certainly possesses uncommon merit. Ii
materials, the book is rich in plan, judicious
in execution, classical, able and happy. Th,
distinctions and classifcations, in the work
grounded on national phenomena and SltLG
tion, "a point which seems to have beef
strangely and almost entirely disregarded by
Geographers generality is peculiar excel
lenCe. The Tabular department is treasur,
inestimable. Those tables, by which tn,
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."
