 THIS Work :s defigned as an eafy mean of uniting 
 Inftruaion with Pleafure, and of obtaining in an agree- 
 able manner, a familiar acquaintance with the form of 
 the United States, and of each State and Territory, 
 their relative pofition, and their importance as refpeas 
 their time of fettlement, extent of territory, popula- 
 tion, exports, and the number of fenators and repre- 
 fentatives they are entitled to in the consjrefs of the 
 Union ; their iflands, lakes, bays, rivers, ciHes, towns, 
 villages, and mofl ftriking natural curiofities ; the lati- 
 tude, longitude, and population of the principal towns ; 
 notices of their hiftory and improvements, &c. &c! 
 By arranging the whole into a feries of interefting 
 games, it is intended to entice the youthful or unin- 
 formed mind to an acquaintance with a fpecies of in- 
 formation highly ufeful, but which can be acquired 
 in no other way, without careful and afliduoUs appli- 
 cation.

 A 
 
 Top or Totutn of ivory or box-^ood is 
 provided, on the four fides of which are the 
 Numbers i, 2, 3, 4. There are alfofix cones of 
 box-wood (of different colours to diilinguiili 
 them) four of thefe cones are intended to repre- 
 fent the perfons engaged in the firft and fecond 
 feries of the play ; ihe oihcr two to reprefent 
 the Prefidtnt and Vice-Prcfident in the third 
 feries of the game ; the prefidential cone is fur- 
 mounted vv'ith a globe, the vice-prefident's with 
 a cap. The Tot urn dire«5ls the movements of 
 the travellers agreeably to the following rules-. 
 
OBSERVATIONS. 
 
 FIRST SERIES. 
 
 This part of tlie play is upon the white cir- 
 cular fpaces connected by black lines : the firflL 
 inivcller f})ins iheTotum, and places his cone on' 
 that number of the map, correfponding with 
 the one which has fallen uppcrmofl on the Top; * 
 in like manner the other travellers fucceed. 
 When a fecond turn is made, the number up- 
 permoft on the Totum is to be added to that on 
 which the traveller of the perfon fpinning is; the 
 amount of thefc two fums indicate the place of 
 the next movement, and fo on. If two travel- 
 lers fall upon the fame number, the perfon who 
 fpiin hii mull place his cone on the next vacant 
 number backward. 
 
 At every flop the margin of the map or ac- 
 c:ompanying book is to be coufulred, and oppofite 
 the number correfponding with that on which 
 the travelicr is at reft, will be found (with 
 Other information) direcftions how he is to pro. 
 ceed, whether to ftop or if thrown out o^ the 
 Tame. 'I'his Series commencing near the City 
 of Philadelphia is ended ilicre. 
 
OBSERVATIONS. .1 
 
 SECOND SERIES. 
 
 This part of the play is upon the red cir- 
 cular fpaces indicating the States ; they arc 
 numbered in the order of their population in 
 the year 1790, to induce the learner to re- 
 member their comparative importance in this 
 refpefl, and to render the game more intricate 
 and interefting. 
 
 The Top is to be made ufe of as heretofore, 
 and reference had to the book as before direfted. 
 But as it is intended in this feries to convey fur- 
 ther information than a mere knowledge of the 
 particulars mentioned in the book ; as the 
 winner in this part of the play is to be intituled 
 Prefident, the next in order Vice-Prefidcnt, 
 while any others engaged in the game will re- 
 main Citizens only ; it is meant to convey to 
 thofe who are unacquainted, how the eleftion of 
 ■fuch officers is made: and as the Prefident and 
 Vice Prefident of the United States may be chofen 
 from any flate of the Union, provided they are 
 not both from rhe fame ftate, the travellers arc 
 required to attend to the following rules ; 
 
 The Candidates mufl commence their tour 
 from feparate ftates, and proceed by the Totuia 
 as heretofore ; the winner in the laft game liav-

 ing the preference of placing his traveller on 
 any ftate he may choofe, the others in the order 
 they came out of the firlt icries. 
 
 As there are but Seventeen States in the 
 Union, and therefore but that number can vote 
 in any eieftion of Prefidenr or Vice-Prefident, 
 no traveller can have more than that number of 
 trials, which trials are regulated as follows ; 
 "When any traveller has arrived at the 24th 
 number in the ufual courfe of progrefs (but has 
 not had the feventeen trials or turns of the 
 Tptum to which he is entiruled) he is to fpin as 
 before, but inlhad of adding the number on 
 the Totum to that on which his traveller is, 
 he mufl now fubtrac>, in order to return over 
 the States to canvafs for their votes. If in this 
 way he (hould return to No. i, without having 
 had the proper number of trials, he may recom- 
 pience as in the firft attempt, and fo on. If the 
 addition or fubftraftion of any number fliould 
 throw the candidate beyond the ift or 24th 
 number, that trial is flill to be confidered as an 
 atteinpt, and reckoned as one of the 17, and in 
 the fucceeding attempts he is to reckon from 
 the firfl or 24th numbers as the cafe may be. 
 
 At every flop the Book is to be confulied — 
 and oppofite the number correfponding to that 
 on which the traveller of the candidate is, he 
 will learn various general information of that

 ftate or territory, and among others what num- 
 ber of Senators and Reprefentatives the (late is 
 entituled to in Congrefs. 
 
 As the Prefident and Vice Prefident are chofen 
 by the flates, and they for this purpofe choofe a 
 number of Eleftors of thofe officers equal to the 
 fum of their Senators and Reprefentatives in 
 Congrefs, each Candidate is required to fet down 
 their amount for each (late on which his cone 
 is placed fobferving that as no flate can vote 
 more than once in this election, fo no Candidate 
 can more than once in each game collect the votes 
 of a flate— but if he fall a fecond time on the fame 
 ftate, he is to confider himfelf as having loft a 
 trial) when the feventeen turns are completed, 
 each candidate is to examine the amount he has 
 acquired, and he who has obtained the greater 
 number of votes is to be entituled Prefident, the 
 next in order Vice Prefident (at which times the 
 cones in ufe are to be exchanged for thofe 
 which reprefent thefe officers,) the remainder (if 
 more than two are engaged in the play) to be 
 confidered Citizens only when it is known who 
 are the officers, they are to repair to No. 25, the 
 Capital of the United States, where the Brcli- 
 dent is to make his Inaugural Speech, by read- 
 ing what is contained in the Book oppofite the 
 number which reprefents the City of Waihing- 
 ton, No. 25.

 THIRD SERIES. 
 
 This is played on the blue fpaces. — In this 
 part of the Game the Prefident precedes invaria- 
 bly — the Vice Prefident next, and the Citizens 
 follow without regard to order. That is, the 
 Prefident is to fpin firfl, and at all times have the 
 preference in placing his traveller, nor muft thofe 
 who accompany attempt to precede him— the 
 Vice Prefident fucceeds, nor mufl the Citizens 
 pafs him, though the Totum authorizes it — the 
 Citizens following may pafs each other, as they 
 Hand on equal ground as refpe<ris precedence. 
 
 The Totum is as heretofore to be made ufe 
 of, and the book confulted for information 
 ——In this feries the traveller is liable to fliip- 
 wreck Cbeing now on the water as before he 
 was in danger on land of being thrown out of 
 .the game » to indicate the accidents to which all 
 dates are liable; if fuch fliould be the fate of the 
 Prefident, the Vice Prefident fucceeds himj and 
 if the Vice Prefident, the Citizen who is next to 
 him in the order of the play fucceeds to his Na- 
 tion. 
 
 By flopping " one, two, or three turns" is 
 to be underilood, that the traveller thus direiled 
 to.ftqp, is to fuffer his cone to remain on the

 Hiimber where Tuch direction is given, until the 
 other perfons engaged in the play have feverally 
 fpun the Tolum ; once, twice, or thrice, as the 
 cafe may be ; he will then go on. The inten- 
 tion of this provifion h, not only to render 
 the pliay rrrore intricate, bnt to imprefs on the 
 mind of the learner the circumflances there 
 noted. 
 
 The author thinks it proper to obferve, that 
 though he has taken much pains, and confulted 
 many books, he is fenfible errors are to be found 
 in this work in various parts ; in extenuation, 
 however, he has to mention, that he has not 
 been able to fatisfy himfelf on many points where 
 ourbeH: geographical writers differ; on other 
 points information was not to be had. 
 
 The population of the States, Territories and 
 Towns, are from trie Cenfus of 1800, from 
 books, or more recent information obtained in 
 other ways ; one general ohfervation, however, 
 applies to the number of inhabitants, and that is, 
 it is thought they will invariably be found more 
 than is Hated, except, perhaps, as far as regards 
 the cities of Philadelphia and New York. 
 
 The longitude and latitude are from Morfc 
 and Scott ; on this fubjeft, however, they are 
 frequently at variance ; the longitude is reckon- 
 ed from the city of Philadelphia.
