Hardcover. Condition: Poor. 23rd edition ; ix, 360 pp. ; 18 cm. ; LC: G125; Dewey: 910 ; OCLC: 16067752 ; "Dr. Morse's career as a Geographer commenced as early as the winter of 1783-84, while he was teaching a school in New Haven, and pursuing at the same time the study of Theology. The English Geography by Guthrie was the only Compend then in use in any of our schools; and that was lamentably deficient in what related to our own country. To supply this deficiency he gathered information from all the sources within his reach, and imparted it in lectures to his pupils. Aware that the same need was felt in other schools, he was led to frame the substance of his lectures into a book; and this was published in 1784,-the first Geography of any kind ever published in Am erica. It was a duodecimo of two hundred and fourteen pages, entitled 'Geography made easy.' This, taken in connection with his subsequent efforts in the same direction, fairly entitles him to the distinction of being the Father of American Geography." -- from The Life of Jedidiah Morse, D.D.

Morse was both a clergyman and one of America's most influential cartographers. His "Geography Made Easy (1784) was the first published textbook on American geography in America. Morse used a questionnaire to gain the knowledge he used to compile this second work, his "American Geography". He circulated it to "such Gentlemen as are able and likely to furnish answers", reprinted it in weekly newspapers, received numerous replies as a result. He quoted from Jefferson's "Notes on the State of Virginia" (1784) and from maps by Lewis Evans, Thomas Pownall, and others. "He queried "men of Science" for information on natural history and other specialties. He obtained statistics on population from magazines and newspapers. In his published book he did not clearly identify his many sources, and he often quoted works directly. He would not use foreign publications, with the comment that "Europeans have . . . too often suffered fancy to supply the place of facts." (Elizabeth Noble Shor for ADNB).
