SOCIETA DE GEOGRAPHIE ADVERTISEMENT (BY THE ENGLISH EDITOR.) THE scene to which this volume chiefly relates the Republic of Columbia—having become an object of such deep and general interest, the publishers have pleasure in at length presenting it to the public. The French original had been delayed by circumstances over which the editor had. no controul. The succeeding portion, which will comprise an account of the island of Cuba, and a part of the Journey into the Cordillera of the Andes, is already in the press, and proceeding with all possible expedition. The Author having, in the course of the work, brought under his review almost all branches of the Sciences, purposes to give, at the conclusion of the whole, a classed table of contents, or methodical index, for the facility of reference. |
