The publishers believe themselves justified
in Adopting tbs opinion Of an English journal,
which saws: aThere is no work Of the present
day which can compare with this Encyclope-
dia, either in originality Of design, amount Of
lINaIIhLIlMf OF AEHAAH VI EAEAMAAANs AAAEA
termed an "Encyclopedia Of Geography" il
might with as much propriety, be termed an
Encyclopedia Of Nature and Art; for there is
scarcely any thing remarkable on the surface,
or in the bowels Of the earth--an animal, q
plant, or a mineral-which It does not enter
into It's plan to describe and illustrate. Nor
are the manners the industry, the commerce,
or the political institutions Of the different na-
tions Of the Urth forgotten; for to each and TO
all an ample justice has been done, as the size
Of the work, and the variety Of the subjects
embraced, could possibly admit Ofthe wood
cuts, but one opinion can be entertained, and
that is, that they are as truly deserving Of
praise for their execution, as they are numer-
ous aud true to nature"

nited States has been written anew, and fiIls
over Two hundred pages; new and larger
map Of this country has also been given, and
