The publishers believe themselves justified
10 I'D ping III opinion Of an English Journal,
which says: aThere is no work Of the present
day which can compare with this EncyclopU-
dis, either in originality Of design, amount Of
illustration, or beauty Of execution. Though
termed an Encyclopedia Of Geography" L
might with as much propriety, be termed an
Encyclopedia Of Nature and AM; lor there is
scarcely any thing remarkable on the surface,
Or in the bowels Of the earth--an animal a
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 ma
tons Of the earth 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-
Gus and true TO nature"
The portion Of the work relating 10 the u
nited States has been written anew, and fills
over two hundred pages; new and larger
map Of this country has also been given, and
