In no similar work have fucli maps beenever introduced. The emendationsand additions which ire made in this work,are innumerable,and occur in every page. The public are re ferred to the preface for a flight Iketch #f a few of them. The publilher takes the present oppor tunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those refpcftable who have favored him with documents for improv jPT the maps of several of the states He I requests a continuance of tlie'tr kindnefsj I and hopes that such public spirited citizens, I as are pofiefled of limilar documents, will j tavor him with tlieirafliftance in perlert- Ca I ing his undertaking. . SL T I The extraordinary encouragement with t;0 I which he has been favored, has excited k n I in htebreaft the warmest sentiments of gra- I titude—fentiments which time will not et | !ace.
