It is wholly unneceflary to expatiate on the advantage,to American readers, that this edi tion poffeiTes over every imported edition of any fvftem of Geog aphy extant. The addi tion of maps of the several ft ate , procured at si very great expense, and Irom the bell ma terials that are attainable, speaks such full conviction on this fubjeft, that it would be difrefpeft to the reader's understand ng to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar w®rk hav* such maps been ever intro duced. The emenJations and additions which »r« made in this work,are innumerable,and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a flight (ketch of a lew of tbem. The publilher takes the present opportu | nity oi' returning his most fnicere thanks to those refpe&able characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the ftatrs. He requests a contl nuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public Spirited citizcns, as aie possessed ol si milar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking. The extraordinary encouragement with which h» has been favored, has excited in hisbre\ft the warmed sentiments of grati tude—fentiltients which time will not ejface. He pledges himfelf to the citinens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor ex penfe to'ender the prrfent edition o(Guthrie s Geography improved, deserving of their pa tronage. waf,t JUST PUBLISHED, AND SOLD BY H. & P.
