•»• It would be superfluous to urge the importance and utility of GEOGRAPHY 

 as a Science ; and no less so, to dwell upon the peculiar fitness of the present 

 epoch, for the publication of a New System. The Territorial Arrangements con- 

 sequent upon the general peace of EUROPE, after a War which had deranged 

 the Political Relations of everj' Continental State, had, in fact, rendered all 

 previous Works comparatively obsolete. A revised and enlarged edition of a 

 common Gazetteer, liad become more useful than the most elaborate of exist* 

 ing Geographical Compilations. Under such circumstances, therefore, the pro- 

 duction of a New System, adapted to the present state of the World, and em- 

 bracing all the Changes which have taken place, must possess paramount claims 

 to Patronage. It is not, however, on this ground alone, strong as it is, that the 

 present Undertaking rests its pretensions ; neither expense nor labour has been 

 spared to render it, in every respect, worthy of Public Approbation. The most 

 recent and authentic Details respecting every Country, have been collected and 

 arranged, so as to enable the Reader to estimate correctly the actual Condition 

 of each, and to supersede in a great degree the necessity of recurring to sepa- 

 rate and expensive Works. In short, the endeavour lias been, and it is hoped 

 not fruitlessly, to present A SYSTEM OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY, worthy of 

 the Science itself, and worthy of the enlightened Age ni which we live. 



N. B. The Work may be had in 25 PARTS, (by one or more at a time,) price 

 7». each.
