%* There has never, perhaps, been a period, when it could be 

 less necessary than at present to enforce reasons for publishing a 

 NEW System of Geography. The political events of the last Six 

 Years have, in fact, rendered all existing Geographical Works, to 

 a certain degree, obsolete. Within this period, likewise, enterprising 

 travellers have spread in every direction, and communicated to the 

 world the result of their observations. Many doubtful points 

 of science have thus been established; many unexpected facts 

 have been verified ; the moral aspect of nations has been vividly 

 portrayed ; the changes in manners and customs, and in political 

 influence, have been ascertained ; venerable errors have been 

 corrected ; important truths elucidated ; and, in short, the energies 

 of unimpeded intellect have been applied to the survey of the 

 world in such a way, as offers an ample share of novelty to the 

 industrious compiler of a geographical system. While, therefore, 

 the Man of Science, the Statesman, the Merchant, the Student, and 

 the Traveller, will find all that is unquestionable in preceding works, 

 they may expect to receive in this, the additional information which 

 subsequent researches have supplied.
