can compare with this Encyclopedias either Ia
originality of design, amount vi Illustration, or
beauty of execution. Though termed an Ency-
clopedia of Geography, it might, with almost as

and to illustrate Nor are the manners, the In-
dustry, the commerce, or the political nistItu-
lions of the different nations of the earth forgot

been done as the size of the work and the variety
of subjects embraced, could possibly admit. vi
