The decision to compile and publish this was reached in 1786 while Morse was travelling for the purpose of collecting material for his American geography . The gazetteer was delayed by the work of revising the
geography . Capt . Thomas Hutchins , Geographer general of the United States , had started a similar project , but upon learning of Morse's intention turned over to him all of his material . Morse said also , "After all is but proper here to observe , that a very consid erable part of the matter of this volume has been selected , and alphabetically arranged , under the prop er heads , from The American universal geography . cf.
