BOOK V. 
GEOGRAPHY.

This is obviously an imperfect sketch, and has many faults ; 
but it is upon whole the best general view that has yet been 
taken of the subject, and has the advantage of showing the 
student in what way to turn his attention to the enquiry. 
In concluding this important and very interesting subject, 
I must refer the reader who is desirous of further information 
to the writings of Brown in the appendix to Captain Flin- 
ders*s Voyage, and Tuckey's Expedition to the Congo ; to De 
Candolle's Essay upon the Geography of Plants, published in 
the 18th volume of the Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles ; 
to the numerous writings of Humboldt ; to the observations 
upon the subject by Schouw, as translated in Brewster's 
Edinburgh Journal, and to Royle's most instructive work 
on the Flora of the North of India and Cashmere.
