Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Geographical, Historical and Statistical View of the Central or Middle United States: Containing Accounts of Their Early Settlement; Natural Features; Progress of Improvement; Form of Government; Civil Divisions and Internal Improvements, of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia and Parts of New Y The object of the present work is to supply what is manifestly needed, not only by travellers, but by persons of every class, who desire a knowledge of the present condition of the interesting portions of the United States, to which it is devoted. To such, a familiar and brief account, divested of all extraneous matter, of the primitive history, progressive geography and civil institutions of those states to which it has particular reference, cannot, we think, fail to be acceptible. The want of such knowledge, which often exposes to ridicule, persons otherwise well informed, has become a matter of reproach to those who are indifferent to its importance in the common occurrences of life. A newspaper can scarcely be read understandingly, without, at least, a partial insight into those leading features of history, geography and statistics, an acquaintance with which, now, more than at any former period, constitutes an important ingredient in the education of every intelligent and respectable person.
