Sinossi
Excerpt from Elementary Geography
From the title-page of this book may be gathered an idea of its design, scope, and method. Prepared in accordance with the views of advanced teachers, it is believed to embody the most natural and philosophical system. It treats the subject objectively, makes knowledge precede definitions, and presents facts in their logical connections, taking gradual steps from the known to the unknown. It is offered to the public in the hope that it will lay a substantial foundation for the subjective development of this branch of study in the Human book.
In this volume the aim has been, not to teach much, but to teach what beginners can understand and digest. It has been sought to lay no unnecessary burden on the young learner; to sift out the useful from the unimportant; and so to link geographical facts with striking facts of history, of natural history, and of social life, that they may be permanently im pressed on the mind. Special attention is asked to the system of reviews, to the written exercises interspersed, to the para graphs in heavy-faced type summing up from time to time what is most necessary to be remembered, and to the occa sional references introduced for the encouragement of more extended reading on interesting points.
