The publishers believe themselves justified
N ad ping the opinion of an English journal,
which says: 81 there IS 10 work Of the present
day which can compare with this Encyelopg-
dia, either IN orgnalAyso design, amount of
illustration, or beauty Of execution. Though
termed an "Encyclepedia, Of Geography it
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,
plant, or mineral-which 1T does not enter
INTO it's plan to describe and illustrate. Nor
are the manners. the industry, the commerce,
Oh the politica! institutions Of the different ma
tons of the eartb4org5Aen; for to each and to
ali 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 IL, that they arc as truly deserving of
praise for their execution, as they are numer-
Gus and true 10 nature" s@
The portion of the work relating to the u
nited States has heen written anew, and fills

map of this country has also been given, and

voted to its description.
