OUTLINES OF GEOGRAPHY, NATURAL, CIVIL AND POLITICAL: Concisely stating the natural divisions of the Terraqueous Globe, with its principal mountains, rivers, lakes, gulphs, bays and islands: the boundaries of empires, kingdoms, and states; their chief cities and principal towns; their institutions, civil, political and religious. Together with a brief account of their productions, commerce and manufactures. Arranged under proper heads, and condensed into a narrow compass, with the double view, of making it a book of first principles to the beginner, and a manual to the more experienced geographer. To which is added, a brief view of the solar system, according to the latest discoveries by Dr. Herschell, and others
