On the east it is bounded by the Pacific, which separates it from Ame- rica, and on the south by the Indian Ocean, so that it is almost surrounded by the sea. The religion of Turkey, Arabia, Persia, part of Tartary, and part of India, is the Mohammedan. In the other parts of Tartary, China, India, Japan and the Asiatic Islands the people are, for the most part, idolaters. In Asia the prin- cipal languages are the modern Greek, the Turkish, the Russian, the Tartarian, the Per- sian, the Arabic, the Malayan, the Chinese, the Japanese.

So extensive a country necessarily involves a great diver- sity of climate and of soil.

AFRICA
Africa, the third grand division of the globe, bears some resemblance to the form of a pyra- mid, the base being the northern part of it, which runs along the shores of the Mediter- ranean; and the point, or top of the pyramid, the Cape of Good Hope. Africa is a peninsula of immense extent, joined to Asia only by a neck of land, about sixty miles over, between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, commonly called the Isthmus of Suez. Its utmost length from north to south, from Cape Bona in the Mediterranean, is 37 degrees north, to the Cape of Good Hope, in 34 south latitude, is 4900 miles; and the broadest part from Cape Verd in 17-20 degrees west longitude, to Cape Guardafui, near the Strait of Babel Mandel in 51-20 east longitude, is 4300 miles from east to west. It is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, which separates it from Europe; on the east by the Isthmus of Suez, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean, by which it is divided from Asia; on the south by the Southern Ocean, and on the west by the Great Atlantic Ocean which separates it from Ame* -rica. As the far greater part of this extensive country lies within the tropics, the heat is, in many places, almost insupportable to an European. Though Africa has every advantage or commerce, which a rich and fruitful country, with commodious harbours, can bestow, yet its immense resources are almost entirely neglected, not only by the natives, but also by the civilized Europeans who have settled there With respect to religion, the inhabitants of this continent may be divided into three sects, namely Pagans, Mohammedans, and Christians. The first are the most numerous, possessing the principal part of the country, from the Tropic of Cancer to the Cape of Good Hope. They are generally blacks. The Mohammedans, who are of a tawny com- plexion, inhabit inhabit Eypt and almost all the northern shores of Africa. The people of Abyssinia, are denominated Christians, but retain many Pagan and Jewish ceremonies

AMERICA
THE UNITED STATES.-The United States of America form a federal republic, the government of which is administered by an elective head and a proportionate number of representatives from all the States. There are three grand divisions of these states, namely,—the New England States, the Middle States, and the Southern States. So extensive a country necessarily involves a great diver- sity of climate and of soil. In In this republic there is no religious establishment supported by the government, as it was thought more adviseable to leave religion to its own opera- tion on the minds of men.

MEXICO
MEXICO OR NEW SPAIN is bounded on the north-east, by the Gulf of Mexico; and on the south-west, by the Pacific. Being for the most part within the Torrid Zone the cli- mate is excessively hot, and, on the eastern coast, where the land is low, it is unhealthy. The inland country, however, assumes a better aspect, and the air is of a milder temperature. The population of Mexico may be divided into Whites, Negroes, the indigenous Mexicans, and a mixed race. The original natives, who still exist in great numbers, have become, from continual oppression, a dejected and tamoronsrace. The Roman Catholic is the established religion of Mexico.

PERU
PERU is bounded on the west by the Pa- cific; by the same ocean and Chili on the south; by New Grenada on the north; and, on the east, by the territory of La Plata, or Buenos Ayres. Though Peru lies within the torrid zone, yet, having on one side the South Sea, and on the other the great ridge of the Andes, it is not so hot as other tropical countries. It never rains in Lower Peru, but this defect is supplied by a soft dew which falls every night, and refreshes the plants and the grass, so as to occasion in many places the greatest fertility. The mountainous districts enclose various mines: there are seventy of gold, six hundred and eighty of silver, four of copper, four of quicksilver, and twelve of lead. In Peru is likewise found the remarkable suh- stance called platina, which may he considered as an eighth metal. The Peruvians are robust and arell formed, but indolent and much ad-dicted to spirituous liquors. This country, which long formed part of the Spanish posses- sions, has lately established its independence. manly, robust, and high spirited race, The Spaniards and Creoles of Chili are indolent and voluptuous. Chili now forms part of the republic of Columbia.
