The great islands IN the Southern and
Pacific Oceans are mostly independent and
despotic, such is Japan, with a. population
of twenty millions, and Madagascar, con-

and Society Islands are limited tnonarchies,
and the other islands in the Southern and
Pacific Oceans belong mostly to the different
European Powers, and are ruled according
to their respective forms of government. On
the American continent there are two
Monarchical Governments; that of Brazil,
which is, however, iberally constitutional,

in North America exceed the United States
in territorial extent, and they enjoy a large
