Outlines of Practical Geography, consisting
principally of Questions on the Maps, By Jo-
sEPH MUENsCHER, A. Al. Prico % cents.
Extract from the Preface.
" This little work consists principally of
Questions, the answers to which may be found
by an examination of the Maps. They are
adapted particularly to Woodbrdgc's highly ap
proved Atlas, and those questions which are in
cluded in brackets can be answered from no
maps but his. The answers to the great body of
them, however, may be found on Worcesters,
Morse's, or Goodrichs Atlas. The experience
and observation of the writer have convinced
( him that the most successful and expeditions
way Of acquiring knowledge of Practical
Geography, is to direct tho attention almost
exclusively to the maps The mass of facts re-
latng to Physical, Political, and Statistical
Geography, which are found in most treatises
on this science, may be read by the Student
with great advantage but the attempt to bug
den the memory with them, is an Improbable
employment of time The object Of the writer
in this little work has been to form Series OF
! Questions which will embrace every thing OF
| Importance to be found upon the Maps; and in
the brief notes which are interspersed through
out the book an attempt is made to combine
( Ancient with Modern Geography, so far al
least as the names of the principal places are
concerned The first section, it is believed
contains a. more full and minute explanation OF
mathematical Geography than can be found or
any elementary treatise on this subject"

There are persons who feel an interest in endeas

they have no cause to give themselves any concern.

to state single fact. There were imported irt5

sumption. SOo,7O4 barrels Of -four. Of these,

from the port of Baltimore, which is the prihcpals
if not the sole market for the -four produced in York
county. During the same year. the Whole of the

mand for -four created by the manufacturing estabs

.4nterican System--Facts speak for themselves,
and contradict predictions of those opposed to the
protection of our national industry. In every in
stance where the government has by high duty ena-
bed the American to get to work before he was ruin
ed by British capitalists, the article protected has
fell in price to the consumer. Plain cotton cloth
sold (of an inferior quality at 80 cents; better can
now be had at cents the yard and in place OF send
ing money to India to purchase humhuns our ou'
ward bound vessels take large quantities OF cotton
cloth to that country. Spun cotton before the high
protecting duty was imposed sold at the northern
factories at from 70 to IS cents, by the quantity
the same quality OF yarn can now be had In any
quantity, at % cents, whilst the English price cur
rent quotes the lowest prices at more that q cents
per Id. and in few years we anticipate that ship
nents of cotton yarn of cloth. will be made to Great
Britain in place Of the raw material. When the du-
ty on cut nail, was laid, the price was 10 cents the
Id. now any quantity can be had I'm Aexandrla) at
seven cents The price of writing paper, when the
duty was laid, was for No. /, about IS 50 it can
now be had at IS IS. These are facts which ad-
NIT of no dispute, and establish the principle we
have ever advocated. Give American enterprise d
fair start, and the genius Of the people will ensure
success to the exertions of freemer.
| One striking advantage is mentioned by every per-
son who has visited any OF the northern manufaeur-
ing villages. The poor class are without exception,
well provided for-thelr wages keep them from want,
and the knowledge of their ability to maintain them
selves has removed that debasement that exists IN
the lower rank of this and other states The rising
generation by this means prepared to act an non
orable part in after life, and feel some Of that pride
which should be cherished in the bosom Of every
freeman.
1t is certainly sound policy to encourage the max
ing of every article necessary in the event OF for
eign war. No person conversant with the evils en-
countered in the last war; be ratorous to their
country as to wish to have them again encountered.
