By D L. C. Teaxher or Geography. This work is executed on a ptan entirely new in America; Topography (or the descrip. tion oi' the provinces and towns that compose a nation or country) constitutes one of the most essential parts of it, contrary to the custom which has prevailed in almost all the books of Ge< .raphe that have appeared hi the United States. In this work, is presented to the public an entertaining account of the Chinese Empire, a new description of France according to the recent division into departments compared with that, into provinces, as lii ewise of Bei- 'giuifi, Savoy, Piedmont and the qther coun- tries that have been incorporated, into the French empire ; a detailed and acc.ur.te ac- count of the various states of Switzerland, Italy and Germany according to t e hi treatie's of peace, viz : of C;;u;po Fr.nnio, Rastadt, Lunt-vilie, Amiens and P.-e-.hm-g ; an account of Poland according to the divisi- on of 17&.J ; a • atisfaeiory account of tti« British Isles ; a long and accurate account of the United States in genera., and of each state and territory in purUoulflr, likewise of their districts, counties,'cities, towns u id villages, &c. Lastly, a lengthy description of the Spanish' possessions in America aceoiding to the last regulation of the Cabinet of Madrid ; likewise a description of the ancient tribes of Israel, of Jud. a or Palestine Under the Romans, of ancient Greece, and tin- divisi- ons of ancient Italy, Gaul, Spain, Britain, Illyricum, 'i !u-ace, Asia Minor and Syria, with several other new articles which will certain!} be highly interesting. This work is printed in a handsome type, on elegant, paper, neaily bound and lettered in two volumes, 12 mo. .Price 2 dollars and 50 cents. The compilation has been approved, a/nd subscribed to by the President of the United States, by tWe Secretary of State, by Saint Man's College in Baltimore, in which in- stitution, a? likewise in the Ladies' Semina- ries, of Mrs La Combe and of Mrs. Bacco- nais in Baltimore, of Mrs. Rivardi and Mrs. Grelaud, in Philadelphia, anilot Miss De St. Mernin in Burlington, New-Jensey, it has been adopted, by the directors of the College of Union at Skencctady in the state of New- York, and by the College at Georgetown. It has also been subscribed to by the greatest part of the most respectable citizens of Bal- timore, Philadelphia, New York, and the stjte of New-Jersey. This makes the author entertain the flattering prospect of seeing his labors rewarded by the suffrage of an enlight- ened and liberal public, who doubtless will encourage a work which has already been sanctioned by so many able personages and for which no trouble has been spared to ren- der it at the same time instructive and agree, aide.
