Description
Excerpt from Dictionary of Geography: Ancient and Modern: Comprising a Succinct Description of All the Countries of the Globe, Their Physical and Political Geography, the Several Races of Their Inhabitants, and Their Ancient as Well as Modern Denominations; Together With a Brief Notice of All When the Author of this Dictionary consented to undertake the task, he frankly confesses that lie had formed no correct estimate of the amount of labour which it would involve. The rapid advances in geographical discovery made during the past few years, have rendered all our popular Gazetteers and Dictionaries embracing geography so extremely defective, that, instead of being able to follow them as authorities, the Author has found himself compelled to have recourse to the toil of original compilation; and he feels it due to the Publishers as well as to himself, to stale, that every article in the present volume has been written expressly for the work. Those only who have been engaged in similar compilations, can appreciate the cost of time and labour which the requisite research has demanded. The plan of the Work is believed to be in some respects original. The Dictionary will be seen to differ from a Gazetteer, both as to what it contains and what it excludes. Combining ancient" with modern geography, and including the names of nations and racesf, as well as geographical terms I, it comprises a large portion of information not to be found in any Gazetteer, and never before brought under alphabetic arrangement.
