TO THE PUBLIC. THE Author is sensible that the firft edition of his American Geography (which makes Part I. of the above work) was in many instances dc fe&ive, in others erroneous, and in five. It has been his endeavour, as it was hi* desire, in the present edition, to fupplv the defi ciencies, correal the errors, and meliorate the offenfivc parts of the last. To aflift him in this business, he has received many valuable commu nications from the heads of departments in the general government, and from gentlemen of re fpe&ability in the several ftatce. The descrip tion of foreign countries (which composes Part 11. of the above work) has been carefully com piled from the most approved writers on Geo- « graphy, and ufeful information introduced from the discoveries of the latest Navigators, Travel lers, and refpe£table authors. Indeed, no pains nor expenfc have been (pared to render this work the moll complete, accurate, and ufeful of any ever offered to the public.
