Elements of geography: containing a concise and comprehensive view of that useful science, as divided into, 1. astronomical 2. physical, or natural 3. political geography. On a new plan. Adapted to the capacities of children and youth; and designed, from its cheapness, for a reading and classical book in common schools, and as a useful winter evening's entertainment for young people in private families. Illustrated with a neat map of the United States, and a beautiful chart of the whole world. By Jedidiah Morse, D.D. Minister of the congregation in Charlestown, Massachusetts--author of the American universal geography, and of the American gazetteer. [Three lines from Backus]
