The Publishers are aware of the objection to the revision of school books, on account of the inconvenience arising from the use of different editions of them in the same class. This objection, however does not apply to a Geography as to other text-books, for a work on this subject, to be correct, must, from time to time, record the discoveries and changes which are constantly taking place. No difficulty will be found in using the present edition in connection with the former one; since, with few exceptions, the pages and paragraphs precisely correspond with each other.
