EIGHTH EDITION, CORRECTED.

No. 254 PEARL STREET.

the Clerk's office of the District Court of the Southern District of New-York. WHEN the Author was requested to undertake the revision of an English edition of Brookes' Gazetteer, as it appeared in the Treasury of Knowledge, in 1830; it was his expectation that but little more would have been required, than the addition of such important places in America as were omitted, and the correction of errours common to all English Geographers, when treating on this continent. On farther examination, and some progress in the revision, it was evident that the Gazetteer chosen as the basis of this, was so imperfect, both as regarded the Eastern and Western Continents, that a revised work, faithfully performed, must bear but a slight resemblance to the original. Accordingly, a large proportion of the most important articles have been rewritten, and thousands of important places, in all parts of the globe, which were omitted in the original, have been added. Thus this work has grown, under the hands of the compiler, to twice the size of the English edition; and it now contains one third more matter than a volume of the New Encyclopædia Americana, or is equal to 800 octavo pages of that cheap and deservedly popular work.

This Geographical Dictionary is presented to the publick, as the first attempt of the author in a work of this kind; but with entire confidence that it will be found as useful a book of ready reference, as any similar one of the same magnitude. Perfection is not, of course, to be attained in a Geographical work, comprising descriptions of all parts of the world; as changes are always taking place, and much of the information recorded is necessarily from imperfect sources. It is believed, however, that but few errours will be detected in this Gazetteer, when compared with others, and that the omissions are generally unimportant, and indispensable from the conciseness of this book.

Numerous volumes of Geography, Statistical works, and Travels, have been examined, and care taken in making the selections to render this work well adapted to general use in the United States. From the excellent maps of Mr. H. S. Tanner, of Philadelphia, much assistance has been derived, and the acknowledgement of the compiler is due to him, for his politeness in furnishing information respecting late discoveries.

In the descriptions of the American Continent, in which European Geographers are generally deficient, the works of American authors have been consulted. The late Doctor Morse, and his sons; Mr. Worcester, Mr. Darby, Mr. Flint, and others, have been indefatigable in collecting materials on the Geography of America. The author of the present work, has endeavoured to give as full and particular details on this subject, as the limits of this volume would permit. Many articles on American places will be found in these pages, the names of which are not in any other Gazetteer, and many facts are stated from the results of the personal observation of the author, during several tours through a large portion of the United States. The most important and interesting of the recent discoveries of Captains Parry and Franklin, in the Polar Regions; of Major Den. ham, Captain Clapperton, the Messrs. Landers, and others, in Africa; and the latest changes in the governments of Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, are particufarly noticed.
