It is Wholly unnecelTary to expatiate on the
advantage, to American readers, that this edi

any system of Geography extsnt. The addit
tion of maps of the several procured a
a very great expense, and from the belt ma
terials that are attaiuabie, speaks such full
cwviaion on this fubjeft, that it would be
difiefpeft to the reader's understanding to
suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of
arguments to prove its superiority. In 110
similar work have such maps baenever intro
duced.
The emendations and additions wfcuxh are
made io this work, are innumerable, and occui
in every page. The public are referred to
the preface for a flight lketch of a few of
them.
The publiflier takes the present opportu

nuance of their kindness j and hopes that such
public spirited citizens, as are poifeffed ot fi

The extraordinary encouragement with
which he has been favored, has excited
in his breall the warmed sentiments of grati

The Firjl American Edition.
THE grand principle of if right
ly understood, is the only basis on which
uaiverfal justice, sacred order, and perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The v:ew of it exhibited in this
essay, at the'fame time that ir reprefles the
insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and
the outrages of opjareiiion'; confirms, a the
most forcible manner, the lieceflity of subor
dination, and the just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, loosening the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil diftinftion,
draws more closely every f'ocial tie, unites in
one harmonious and jullly proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights of human na
ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com
mon relation to the community.
