Excerpt from A Pictorial Geography of the World, Vol. 2: Comprising a System of Universal Geography, Popular and Scientific; The New World In the preparation of this volume, it has been a leading object to dwell at length on those parts of the globe slightly noticed in the original work, but which the progress of events has brought, and' 18 bringing, more conspicuously into notice. Another object has been to furnish a more full account of those countries in which, as the seats of the most advanced civilization, and the centres of movement, the reader would naturally feel the greatest interest. The Introduction includes much valuable scien tific information bearing on the subject of physical geography. In the body of the work, an account is given of the rapidly growing provinces of British North America, more full, and based on more recent information than is to be found elsewhere. Due attention has also been paid to the rising British colonies of Australia. A laigo space is devoted to Bumpe, and especially to the British Empire, an the country in which, next to his own, the reader would naturally feel the deepest interest. The articles on the United States, besides giving the results of the recent geographical explorations of the western portions of our territory, both the old and that more recently acquired, embody the most important statistical returns of 'the census of 1850. It will be observed that the two parts, the one relating to the Old World, and the other to the New World, are paged separately, and that each has a separate Index.
