It is wholly unneceOary to expatiate on '
the American readers, that
this edition poffefTes, over every imported '
edition ol any system of Geography extant. *
The addit tion of maps ofthe several testa ,
procured a very great expense, and from '
the belt materials that are attainable, 1
speaks such full conviaftion on this fubjeft '
that it would be difreipedt to the read! c
er s undcrffandin o " to suppose it requisite '
to enter into a detail of arguments to
prove its superiority. In no similar work
liave fucli mapsb»euever introduced.
The emendation";and additions wfiich
are made in this worlc,areinnumerable,and ,
ocrur in every page. The public are re- t
ferred to the preface for a flight (ketch t
of a few of them.
The publilher takes the present oppor. '
tunity of returning his most sincere thanks
»o thofc refpefta.ble characters who have
fivored him witb documents for in\prov
i"g the maps of several of the dates He
requefts'a continuance of their kindneft;
and lioj.es that such public spirited citizens,
as are poireiTed of similar documents, will
favor him. with theirafliftance in pcrleCt
ing his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with
which he has been favored, has excited
in his breast the warnieft sentiments of gra
titude— sentiments which time will not ef
face. He pledges himfelf to the citizens
' of Plie United States, to fp'ive nether pains
nor expense to render the prfent edition
of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserv
