Representing the most remarkable Objects of Nature and Art in every region of the Globe.

DEEPLY impressed with a sense of the great extent and difficult execution of a complete Geographical work, the Editor, during nearly ten years in which he has been engaged upa it, has used the utmost exertion to procure from every quarter information and aid. He ba studiously collected the most recent, authentic, and accurate accounts of the extent, nature features, population, productions, industry, political constitution, literature, religion, ad social state of the various regions of the globe, with the leading details as to their districis and cities. The sciences connected with the natural history of the earth have, however. attained to such an extent and importance, that a thorough knowledge of them can only be possessed by individuals who have especially devoted themselves to one particular branch. The Editor, therefore, considered it essential to procure the co-operation of writers w27 had risen to acknowledged eminence in the departments of Geology and Mineralogy, Zoology and Botany. He considered that he had fully succeeded, when Professor James: undertook to delineate the geological structure of the globe, and the distribution of minerals over its surface; Mr. Swainson to explain the distribution of animals, and the most remarkable of those found in each particular region; and Dr. Hooker to perform the same task in regard to the vegetable kingdom. Professor Wallace has illustrated the relations of the earth as a planet, the trigonometrical surveys, the construction of maps, and other subjects. connected with mathematical science. These tasks have been executed in a manner which, it is hoped, will fully support the high reputation of their respective authors. In preparing the sections relating to Commerce, the Editor derived much assistance from Mr. McCulloch's Commercial Dictionary, and he is also indebted to that gentleman for many valuable com munications. Various parts relating to remote countries have been revised by gentlemen recently returned from them, particularly Barron Field, Esq. Chief Justice of Gibraltar, som: years resident in Australia. It is only justice to add, that neither exertion nor expense have been spared by the Publishers, to enable the Editor to render the work as perfect as possible. The Maps, which are so numerous as to form a complete ATLAS, have been executed from drawings by Hall; and having been carefully revised by the Editor, they will, it is hoped, be found to be accurate, and to include all the most recent discoveries.

*** This work may also be had done up in Two Volumes, if desired.
