Extract from the Pr5ace.
| This little work consists principally OF
Questions, the answers to whith may be found
| By an examination of the Maps. They are
adapted particularly TO Woodbridge highly ap
/ proved Atlas, and those questions which are IN
cluded in brackets can be answered from no

with great advantage; but the attempt TO bur-
den the memory with them, is an Improbable
employment of time. The object of the writer
