Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 4These regular continents are all in the form of triangles, with their apices pointing towards the southern pole. Near either long shore lie the principal mountain sys tems that give definition to the coast line. The middle portion of each continent is generally a region of plain, somewhat diversified by lesser mountain systems. Along either shore is a narrow fringe of plain land to the east and west of the main moun tain chains. Near the northern part of the continent, and aiding to define the base of the triangle, there is another system of mountains having a general east and west course. With the exception of North America, none of these regular continents have seas inclosed within their areas - such bodies of water as form so striking a feature in the Asiatic continent, which is indeed a land of mediterranean seas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
