Elements of GeographyThis early American geography book was published by Jeddiah Morse, a clergyman and school who was dissatisfied the available English texts. Its small siza simple binding ( see images ) made it affordable to people of ordinary means. These same features have caused it to be less appreciated than more elaborate productions, and many copies have been discarded over the years. Now quite rare, this work provides valuable insight into the geographical concepts held by citizens of the young republic. Jeddiah Morse American, 1761-1826 Elements of Geography, 3rd edition Boston: i. Thomas and E. T. Andrews, 1798 Osher Collection |
