MORSE,
Jedidiah.
The American universal geography, or a view of
the present state of all the empires, kingdoms, states, and republics in the
known world, and of the United States of America in particular. In two parts.
The first part treats of astronomical geography, in an enlarged and improved
introduction--of the Western, or American Continent--of its discovery--its
aboriginal inhabitants, and whence they came--its divisions--but more
particularly of the United States of America, generally and individually--of
their situation, extent, civil divisions, rivers, lakes, climate, mountains,
soil, produce, natural history, commerce, manufactures, population, character,
curiosities, springs, mines and minerals, military strength, government,
islands, history of the war, and the succeeding events--and closes with a view
of the British, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and other dominions, on the
Continent, and in the West Indies. The second part describes at large, and from
the latest and best authorities, the present state, in respect to the above
mentioned particulars, of the Eastern Continent--and its islands--as divided
into Europe, Asia, and Africa--and subdivided into empires, kingdoms, and
republics. To which are added, an improved catalogue of names of places, and
their geographical situation, alphabetically arranged--an enlarged
chronological table of remarkable events, from the creation to the present
time--a list of ancient and modern learned
