The Proprietors, grateful for the extensive patronage with which the public have honoured their Globes, beg to observe, that they have, at a very considerable expense, materially corrected the whole of the Plates, and have availed themselves of the Voyages and Travels of COOK, VANCOUVER, DE LA PEROUSE, PARK, CLARKE and LEWIS, HUMBOLDT, FLÍNDERS, ELPHINSTONE, and the Discoveries of Captains ROSS, PARRY, and FRANKLIN, towards the North Pole, and Major DENHAM in the Interior of Africa, which have enabled them to make many very important Additions and Alterations. The utmost pains have been taken to render their Globes both exact and elegant, and they flatter themselves that they exhibit every improvement to the present time.
