Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Young Folks' Library, Vol. 5: For School and Home
This series of Geographical Readers now offered to the public under the title of The World and its People, is intended to remedy this evil. These books are designed either to take the place of formal instruction in geography in the lower classes, or to serve as supplementary reading matter in connection with such instruction.
They are simple in language, and being in narrative form are well suited for use as Geographical Readers in school; While the matter and style are believed to be sufficiently attractive to make them interesting as home reading. In either case they will serve to diminish the necessity for formal geographical teaching.
