BY S. AUGUSTUS MITCHELL.

The publishers have embraced the opportunity of a new revision of the work to augment its size, so that the book is now a third larger than any of the preceding editions.

The Maps for the present edition have all been redrawn and re-engraved.  They are on a much larger scale, more distinct, and fuller in information than those of the previous editions, or any similar work extant.  The true boundaries of all the Western States and Territories are exhibited, California, Utah, &c., and proper attention given to all political changes up to the present time.

Mitchell’s Intermediate Geography, the last published book of the series, has been before the public but a short time, yet it has been extensively introduced and is now largely used in public and private schools throughout the Union.  It has been adopted independently, or in connection with other numbers of the series, by the Public School Directors of the cities of

New York,    Philadelphia,   Baltimore,
Washington,  St. Louis,      Albany,
Rochester,   Cleveland,      Syracuse,
Utica,       Schenectady,    Oswego, &c. &c.

By numerous county boards in the various States, and a great number of the towns and villages of the whole country.

MITCHELL’S GEOGRAPHICAL SERIES.

This work is designed to occupy a medium place between the Author’s Primary, and the well known School Geography and Atlas, of which last book it contains about two-thirds of the amount of matter.

Like the Primary Geography, the Map Questions are upon the same or opposite page to the map itself, so that in no case have the leaves to be turned to find an answer to the question.

Superior excellence is claimed for this book, on account of the natural and progressive order of the lessons,—­of the conciseness and truthfulnes of the descriptive matter,—­of the number, correctness, and uniform excellence of the Maps,—­from the fact that the book is faithfully revised as often as political changes in our own or other countries require it,—­that the pronunciations of the difficult geographical names are given,—­and finally, on account of the superior mechanical execution of the work.
