EXPLANATION OF THE ANNEXED MAP.

THE whole that is marked with the shades of GREEN, constitutes the present United States of America. The darkest shade of Green shows the present extent of the Old Thirteen States who declared themselves independent in 1776. The next shade shows the extent of the States and Territories that have been added to the Union since the year 1783, when the United States were by us acknowledged to be independent. The lightest shade of Green shows the Wild Lands belonging to the United States not yet constituted Territories according to their system.

The RED shows the extent of the English possessions in North America.

On the GREEN, there are now dwelling nearly 25,000,000 of souls-excluding Indians. On the Red, there are less than 2,000,000 of souls, also excluding the Indian Tribes.
