Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New and Popular Pictorial Description of the United States: Containing an Account of the Topography, Settlement, History, Revolutionary and Other Interesting Events, Statistics, Progress in Agriculture, Manufactures, and Population, &C., Of Each State in the Union
The general good of the country demands a mutual acquaintance between the citizens in all parts of it. If ignorant of each other's condition, the people of the different states can not feel that high and just regard for each other which is essential to the existence of a strong spirit of brotherhood. The general diffusion of accurate knowledge, respecting all parts of the country, is therefore to be esteemed as an important public object, as it is one of the principal means to secure that great end. While all look with intelligent interest on the progress annually made, in every state and territory, in different branches of im provement, the value of great and good men will be appreciated, and a noble rivalry main tained, from which the whole country will derive advantage.
