Excerpt from Manual of Geography, Embracing the Key to Mitchell's Series of Outline Maps: Revised and ImprovedThis little manual has been prepared, with the two-fold design of furnishing a full and comprehensive Key to Mitchell's Revised and Improved Series of Outline Maps, and also, of combining in the same work, a succinct, simple outline treatise upon descriptive Geography, sufficiently extensive to advance the pupil to a general knowledge of the science without burdening the mind, and confusing the memory with multifarious and unimportant details.It may now be assumed with confidence, that Mitchell's Series of Outline Maps and Key, furnish the most complete and perfect means for the study of Physical Geography, yet presented to the public, and Physical Geography is, or should be the first study of the young geographer. The youngest pupils of our schools are found readily to acquire a very thorough knowledge of the earth's surface, as represented by these maps, and it is believed that the impressions thus made upon the mind, through the eye, of even such pupils, will be more abiding, than if made at a more advanced age.The maps with the Key may be used by the teacher, either in the class, or for simultaneous instruction of the entire school.A thorough knowledge of Physical Geography having been thus acquired, the pupil is prepared to enter intelligently upon the study of Descriptive Geography, as presented, in a condensed and systematic manner, in the following work.One set of Outline Maps, (which should be the common property of the school, ) suspended in view of all, furnishes a full and ample pictorial illustration for every scholar, and, if properly used, will last a great number of years. Each pupil would, therefore, be only required to furnish himself with this little Manual and Key, in order to acquire a very competent and thorough knowledge of Geography, without any other outlay whatever for maps or books upon the subject.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
