Geographical Compilation,
Being an accurate description of all the
Empicrs, Kingdoms, Republics and States ef
the known world, arranged in a cateiheticei
form, compiled from the best American, En-
glish and French authors.
By D L. C. Teach en of Geoorapky.
This work is executed on a pian entirely
new in America ; Topography (or the descrip.
tion of the provinces and towns that compose
a nation or country) constitutes one of tha
most essential parts of it, contrary to tha
custom which has prevailed in almost all the
books of Geography that have appealed, in
the Unhid States.
In this work, is presented to the public an
entertaining account of the Chinese Empire,
anew description of France according to the
recent division into departments compared
with that into provinces, as likewise of Bel-
gium, Savoy, Piedmont and the other coun-
tries that have been incorporated into the
French empire ; a detailed and accurate ac-
count of the various states of Switzerland,
Italy and Germany according to tiie latest
treaties of peace, viz : uf Campo Forinio,
Rastadt, Lunevilie, Amiens and Presburg;
an account of Poland according t<* the divisi-
on of 1793 ; a satisfactory accou.it of the
British Isles ; a long and accurate account of
tile United States in general, and of each Stat*
and territory in particular, likewise of their
districts, counties, cities, to was and villag-es,
8tc. Lastly, a lengthy description of the
Spanish possessions in America according' to
the last regulation of the Cabmetof Madrid;
likewise a description of the ancient tribes
of Israel, of Judea or Palestine under the
Romans, of ancient Greece, and the divisi-
ons of ancient Italy, Gaul, Spain, Britain,
Illyricum, Thrace, Asia Minor and Syria,
with several other new articles wiiich will
certainly be highly interesting.
This work is printed in a handsome type, on
elegant paper, neatly bound and lettered in
two volumes, 12 mo. Price 2 dollars and 50
cents.
The compilation has been approved, and
subscribed to by the President of the United
States, by tUe Secretary of State, by Saint
