Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New Geographies
Place of General Geography in this Volume - The most difficult part of common school geography is that deal ing with the motions of the earth, lati tude and longitude, winds, rainfall, ocean currents, and temperature. Yet these subjects are almost universally placed at the beginning of the advanced book, so that their treatment follows immediately upon Primary Geography. This arrangement requires children to move abruptly from a meager study of the simplest facts in geography to its broadest abstractions, which is thor oughly bad and unnecessary.
