8. Notice of Morse’s New School Geography and Atlas. 
p. 368. Richardson & Lord, Boston, 1820. Price $1,75.— 
This is the twenty-second edition of the School Geography, 
and is published by Jedidiah Morse, D. D. and Sidney E. 
Morse, A.M. The present edition, with much labour and 
care, has been taken into a new draft, and all the modern 
improvements of importance have been introduced. In this 
work the world is represented under three distinct views.— 
1. An Introductory view of each quarter or grand division 
of the globe; 2. A view of each country indetail; 3. Gen- 
eral Views or recapitulations. The General views occupy 
about one third of the work, and constitute the feature which 
particularly distinguishes it from former editions, and which 
give ita decided preference over other school geographies. 
All that is important relating to the population, commerce. 
literature, religion, &c. of the countries of the world, is here 
condensed, explained by remarks, and accompanied by 
questions, so as to render it easy for the youth to understand. 
The General views are followed by about fifty pages of 
questions on the maps of the Atlas. The Atlas contains 8 
maps, viz. Of the globe; Europe; Asia; Africa; North- 
America; South-America; The United States; and the 
British Islands. These are corrected by the Authors, and 
are very neatly engraved and coloured. 
This Compend of School Geography, we understand from 
the published Report ofthe Superintendant of Schools in the 
State of New-York, has been examined by him, and recom- 
mended for general use in the Schools throughout that 
State. So far as our knowledge extends, we think his judg- 
ment and decision wise, and that the work will prove ex- 
tensively beneficial.
