New STYLE OF GEoeRAPHY.-The changes con-
tinually taking place in the boundaries and rela
tlon5 OF the various countries OF the world, espe
cialy the new world, render the Biographies
which are new to- day obsolete to morrow the
day after In view of these disarrangements of
the ground plans of nations, we do not why
geography should not be written on grand and
indefinite scale, suitable to the expanding genius
and broad winged imagination of our country,
which would be just useful to great-grea
grandchildren to those of this generation, and of
which we might say, as of Shakespeare, "not for
day, but for all time" The wings of our eagle
are necessarily growing-he never has moulted
feather, and never tDi for they all driven in
and clinched ON the other side; and there can be
no possible doubt that he will eventually attain
sufficient size to set upon the whole world, upon
egg, and hatch whatever he pleases out of it.
In view of this great fact, therefore, it would be
impossible to render that portion of the proposed
prophetic and indefinite geography devoted to the
United States too expansive in its views. II might
be got up somewhat in this fashion. We adopt the
colloquiai style, because we think, with Richmall
Magnali, that it tells best:
Q.--What are the boundaries of the United States?
A.-They continually extending.
Q-What are the distinguishing features of the
country?
Ats capacity to conquer, and determination to
annex.
Q.-What are its great waters and their tribu-
taries?
A.-The Atlantic and Pacific oceans are its prin-
cipa waters and all the and rivers of the earth
their tributaries.
This, it to US, s the style in which the book
should be written. Ii presents to the mind grand
future, well calculated to rouse the energies and
stimulate the ambition ofour American youth. There
can be no doubt that, if don't fall to pieces it is
our llusrious destiny to swallow up all other ma.
tors and this fact cannot be too strongly impressed
upon young America. Therefore, go it.
