The work embodies a mass of facts, collected from authentic sources, of the deepest interest to every friend of civil liberty and Protestant Christianity. The efforts of despotic European sovereigns, to inoculate our country with the religion of Rome, are fully proved. Could they succeed in these efforts, and annihilate the spirit of liberty on our shores, the march of free principles in our own dominions would cease. They could then sit securely on their thrones, and rule with a rod of iron over their abject vassals.--Ohio, _Cincinnati Journal_. (Presbyterian.) COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY: REVISED AND ENLARGED From the London edition of "Pinnock's Modern Geography," and adapted to the use of Academies and Schools in the United States, with an Atlas. * * * * * BY EDWIN WILLIAMS, Author of the New Universal Gazetteer, New-York Annual Register, etc. * * * * * NEW-YORK: LEAVITT, LORD & CO., 180 Broadway. * * * * * Extracted critical remarks from the English Reviews of Pinnock's Modern Geography and History. "_Mr. Pinnock's_ Catechisms and other publications have made his name universally known throughout the country, as one of the most meritorious and successful authors in this department of literature, who have ever directed their attention to inform the rising generation. The present volume is, in all respects, worthy of his name; it is well conceived, well arranged, diligently edited, and beautifully got up, at a very moderate cost. By mingling the attractions of history with the dry details of geographical science, the study is rendered pleasing and interesting. Ample intelligence is produced, in the first instance, and then the learner is judiciously exercised by questions on the subjects as they occur."--_Literary Gazette._
