Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Physical and Political Geography, Designed as a Text Book for Schools and Academies: And Intended to Convey Just, Ideas of the Form and Structure of the Earth, the Principal Phenomena Affecting Its Outer Crust, the Distribution of Plants, Animals, and Man Upon Its Surface
The department of Natural or Physical Geography has hitherto received but little attention in our schools. The time of the learner has been chie?y spent upon the accidental or artificial divisions of the earth; in learning estimates of population and extent, which, if true to-day, may be false to-morrow; in committing to memory a dry catalogue of names and definitions without any intelligible ideas asso ointed with them a collection of unmeaning facts, to be forgotten more easily than learned.
