NOTE BY THE EDITOR.

This volume has been compiled chiefly from Balbi's Abrégé de Géographie, but the materials are arranged on the plan of Goodrich's Universal Geography. It not only contains, however, many details not derived from either of those sources, but treats pretty fully of many topics not touched upon by the former. Such portions of the work as have not been borrowed from Balbi or Goodrich have been prepared with care from the best and most recent systematic treatises on Geography, English, French, German, and American;-from official documents; and from the accounts of late travellers.
