State and Prospects of Religion in America: Being a Report Made at the Conference of the Evangelical Alliance, in Paris, August 25th, 1855 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from State and Prospects of Religion in America: Being a Report Made at the Conference of the Evangelical Alliance, in Paris, August 25th, 1855

America, on the north. The 49th degree of north latitude 'forms the western half of the northern boundary, whilst the eastern part of that boundary lies in the greatest part of its extent to the south ward of that degree. On the south, the peninsula of Florida projects almost down to lat. And the south-western part of Texas nearly as far; 31 20' forms a considerable part of the southern boundary. Taking away the projections just referred to, the shape of the United States is almost a complete trapezium; and if we were to say that the zone of 18 degrees of latitude, between 31 and 49 from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is equal, to it in area, and almost coincident with it, we should not be far from the exact truth.
