The publishers believe themselves iushfiad
in adr pting the opinion Of an English journal,
which says: "There Is no work Of the pNeskft
day which can compare with this Encyclop@-
dia, either in originality of design, amount OF
Illustration. or beauty of execution. Though
termed an afncyclcpHda Of Geography t.
might with as much propriety, be termed an
Encyclopedias Of Nature and Art; for there is
scarcely any thing remarkable on the surface,
or i'm the bowels Of the earth--an animal a
plant, or mineral-which it does not enteE
into its plan to describe and illustrate. Nor
are the manners. the industry, the commerce.
or the political institutions OF the dlnerent 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"
