GEOGRAPHY.
Mathew Carey
Refpe&fully submits to the Citizens of the United
States, the following
PROPOSALS
TOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
An AMERICAN EDITION of
Guthrie's Geography
IMPROVED
OJ which these are the terns :
1. TT (hall be published in 48 weekly numbers,
A each containing three Iheets.or tweiKy-four
pages, of letter press, in quarto, printed with new
types on fine paper.
11. In the course of the work will be delivered
about thirty large maps, of the fame fire as those
in the European editions, viz. most of them sheet
maps on post paper.
$3T Bejidei f\maps in the Britijh editions, this
work will contain maps of as many of the United Stiles
as can be readily procured, executed by the btjl engrav
ers in the United States,
111. The price ot each number will be a quar.
ter dollar, to be paid on delivery. No ad
vance required.
IV. The work will be put to press as (oon as
700 copies are fubferibed for.
V. Sublcribets who disapprove of the work, on
the publication of the three firft numbers, are to
be at liberty to return them, and (hall have their
money repaid.
VI. The fubferibers' names (hall be prefixed as
patrons of the undertaking.
Perhaps there is no science more entertainino
and ufeful than geography. It reveals the disco
veries of travellers—the remarkable cunofities of
all countries, in nature and art—the filiation o(
orovinces, cities, towns, villages, rivers, & moun
tains—in fine, the tiiflory, manners, cuftoins, laws,
forces, revenues, and government of different na-
tions.
It is an old observation, that " there is not a
son or daughter of Adam, but has some concern
with geography," and that a knowledge of this
fcicnce is indispensable towards the study of liif.
Tory with advantage or fatisfa&ion. Indeed a
man unacquainted with it, cannot discourse on the
most common newspaper topics of the day without
betraying his ignorance.
So much for geographv generally. With re
foeft to the present plan, let it fuffice to remark,
ihat Guthrie's Geography hat. been long acknow
ledged to be the best in the Engiifh language :
however, the account of America in it ha-., from
obvious reasons, been very erroneous and defec
tive. The errors of former editions will be cor
rected, and the defers supplied, by gentlemen o!
abilities, who have engaged to fupennfend this
undertaking, and to avail themselves of all the irv
formation that can be procured, to render it the;
most complete edition extant.
The Printer carneftly solicits the support of hiJ
fellow-citizens throughout the United States : and'
as no deposit is required, and every fubferiber will'
beat liberty to withdraw his name, if, on trial,
he should disapprove of the work, he hopes the
friends of fcicnce. and of American arts and ma
nufactures, will cheerfully and early patronize this
•jfcfnl work, the greatest and most exprnfive, pro
bably, ever yet attempted in America, in the typo
graphical line, the Encyclopaedia excepted.
