Outlines of Practical Geography. consistines
principally of Questions on the Maps, by Jo-
sEfH MUENscHER A. II. Price 25 cents
Extract from The PreEace
" This little work consists principally Ola
Questions, the answers to which may be found
by am examination of the Maps They are
adapted particularly to Woodbridge's highly APP
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 Worcester's.
Morse 5, or Goodrich's Atlas The experience
and observation of the writer have convinced
him that the most successful and expeditions
way OF acquiring a knowledge of Practical
Geography, is to direct the attention almost
exclusively to the maps The mass of facts re-
latlng to Physical, Political, and Statistical
Geography, which are found in most treatises
on TINS Silence, may be read by the Student
with great advantage; but the attempt TO bur
den the memory with them, is improbable
employment OF time The object of the writer
IN this little work has been to form Series of
Questions which win 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 at
least as the names of the principal places are
concerned. The first section, it is believed,
contains more full and minute explanation of
athematical Geography than can be found OH
any elementary treatise on this subject"

The PUBLIC RECORDS. The recent destruc-
.tion of the public offices at BarnstabIe, includ-
| ing the Records of Deeds, and the Probate
and Clerks Offices, ought to operate as eau
ton against any unnecessary neglect of the
means of security in other places The mis-
| Chief, which such an event may produce, is in
calculable. In this county, liberal appropria-
! tIon TOR the purpose has placed the records of
the Probate Office, and the Registry of Deeds,
it is presumed, out of danger from a similar
cause. Yet it is worthy of consideration.
whether the public safety would not be increas-
ed by withdrawing original papers, belonging
to individuals, from the public offices after the
object, for which they were lodged there, has
been accomplished 1t is remarkable, that
while, as iii said, there were but few original
deeds remaining in the Office End destroyed, at
Barnstable, there is, in the office in this coun-
ty, vast accumulation of them The number,
we are informed, recorded and remaining on
file, is estimated at from fifteen to treaty thou
sand! 1t seems to be thought, by many, that, |
II once entered on record it is not of much
consequence what becomes of the original in
strument. supposed fire proof Office may
be considered safer place of deposit than the (
bureau of the proprietor but the fact, that (
large proportion of this great number had ac-
cumulated in the Office, in this county, before
the means Of security from fire was provided, I
shews that erroneous notions must have been
respecting The value of the origin
al, after being placed on record, as well as a
presumptuous confidence in the safety of the
record itself
