Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geographical Studies Professor Carl Ritter of Berlin
The six lectures read before the Royal Academy of Science at Berlin, in different years, from 1826 to 1850, are esteemed the consummation of Ritter's geographical labors. Guyot and the English geographers have made the public acquainted with a part Of their contents, yet some of them have not been drawn upon at all. They will all repay study; though it is to be regretted that the turn of the German mind is so little towards illustration of principles that it rolls out thought after thought, keeping them in an abstract shape, instead of casting them in that more concrete form which is characteristic of the results of the French, English, and American mind.
