Excerpt from Complete Geography
Commerce. A work on geography that seeks to lay a broad basis for the study of nations must throw a strong search-light upon their commercial relations.
Commerce and the related industries take a leading place in this book, - those of our own country being illustrated by twenty-two colored maps prepared expressly for this work.
The intelligent study of a country's natural resources must be based on knowledge of its physical features. For this reason the surface-forms and the climate of the various parts of the world receive full treatment in the text, the maps and the pictures. The natural regions of the United States are made to serve as a basis for the comparative study of other lands.
Order of Lessons. Though most teachers using this book will doubtless present the lessons in the order in which they appear, yet those who wish to complete the study of the United States in detail, before showing the broader relations of our country to other lands, can readily do so. The work is so arranged that pupils can go directly from the early lessons on the physical features and resources of our country (pages 30 to 52) to the study of its people, its government and its industries (pages 123 et seq).
