| Item Description: | "The first and second volumes of the Elements of useful knowledge, having been well received by my fellow citizens, I have compiled a third volume, which ... may be more interesting; as the countries here described present innumerable subjects of description which are not found in the United States. ..."--Advertisement, p. [3]. Dated: New-Haven, July 19, 1806. Copyright July 23, 1806. "Note. It is thought not expedient to swell the price of this book, by inserting maps of the countries described, for maps in such a work are soon torn and destroyed. The best mode of furnishing the student with maps, is in a collection bound together, called an atlas. ... The best collection, at a moderate price, is, perhaps, that originally published in Philadelphia, by John Conrad & Co. to accompany Pinkerton's Geography, now published by Thomas & Andrews, of Boston. ..."--p.
