The publishers believe themselves justified in
adopting the opinion Of an English Journal.
which says: r#
g There is no work of the present day which
can compare with this Encyclopaedia either ia
originality of design, amount Of illustration, or
beauty of execution. Though termed an Ency-
clop9dla OF Geography, it might, with almost as
much propriety, be termed Eneyciore liza of
Nature and Art; for there is scarcely any thing
remarkable on the surface, or in tie bowels of
the earth-an animal, plant, or a mineral
which ii does not enter into its plan TO describe
aud to illustrate. Nor are the manners, the in
duSliS, lHe commerce., or the pOiil1cdl lfiSlitu-
tons of the different nations Of the earth forgot
ten; for to each and 10 all as ample justice has
been done as the size of the work ard the variety
of subjects embraced, could possibly admit. Of
the wood cuts, but one opinion be entertained,
and that is, that they are as truly deserving of
praise tor their execution, as they are numerous
and true TO nature.'' -...--- ...-.
The portion of the work relating to the United
States has been written anew, and fills over two
hundred pages; new and larger map Of this
country has also been given, and wood cuts have
been added to the chapter devoted to its descnP-
ton. -... .a.. -..z .-=...s.
