It is wholly unnecefTary to expatiate on the
advantage, to American readers, that this edi
tion poffefles, over every imported edition of
any system of Geog aphy extant. The addi
tion of maps of the several (late , procured at
a very great espenfe, and from the best ma
terials that are attainable, fpraks such full
con vision on this fubje(sV, that t would be
difrefpeft to the reader's underftand'ng to
suppose it reqnifite to enter into a detail of
arguments t<* prove its fuper'n rity. In no
similar work have such maps been ever intro
duced.
The emendations and addition? which are
made in this work,are innumerable, arid occur
in every page. The public are referred to
the preface for a flight (ketch ot a lew ol
them.
The publilher take-; the prefcnt oppo» tu
nity of returning his mod sincere thanks to
those refpe&able characters who have favored
him with documents for improving the maps
of several of the ftat<s. He rcquHts a conti
nuance of their kindness ; and hopes that such
public spirited citizens, as are ptoflefled ot (i
---milar documents, will favor him with their
afflftauce in perfecting his undertakii g.
The extraordinary encouragement with
which he has been favored, has excited
in his bread the warmest sentiments of grati
tude— sentiments w u h time will not efface.
He pledges himfclf to the citizens of the
United States, to (pare e th r pains nor ex

An Eflay on Slavery
Designed 10 exhibit in a new point of view,
its eftctts on morals, indujiry, and the peace of
ociety. Some fad* and calculations are offered
to prove the labor of Jreemen to be much more
productive than that ot Jlavcs ; that countries are
rich, powerful and happy, in proportion as the
laboring people enjoy the fruits of their own
labor ; and hence the tvctCT'ty conclusion, that
slavery is impolitic as well as unjujl.
