Excerpt from The Groundwork of Modern Geography an Introduction to the Science of Geography
The writer of a book on Geography can scarcely hope to be really original but every writer or teacher may emphasise those parts of the science which appeal most strongly to him, or which seem to him to be most important. In this book the author has exercised this privilege freely, and has followed what appears to him to be a natural sequence. It is perfectly obvious, however, that other writers may prefer a different order, and may choose to emphasise other aspects of this wide science.
Limits of space have necessitated the sacrifice of Mathematical Geography and Cartography, and the important branch Oceanography is only incidentally mentioned. The author has had in View a book which may provide, within moderate compass, an introduction to the so-called New Geography. It is hoped that not only the student but also the intelligent general reader may find the book of some interest, and that it may serve as a preparation for, and a stimulus to, the reading of one or more of the excellent monographs or Regional Geographies now available in English. The admirable series The Regions of the World, edited by Mr. Mackinder, and the stimulating Europe, by Prof. Lyde, may be mentioned as examples of books to which the present groundwork may possibly serve as an introduction.
