A careful examination of Maps is a sure and at the same time the most convenient method of acquiring a knowledge of Geography. With a view of furnishing to young classes an economical means of commencing a course of geographical study, this work has been prepared; and it is believed that a thorough acquaintance with its contents will impart such general ideas, as will prepare them to enter upon a more minute investigation of the subject, when they shall have arrived at a proper age.
The use of this work will also obviate the necessity which has heretofore existed, of furnishing such classes with larger volumes, the greater part of which is useless to them, till the book is literally worn out; and although it is adapted to young students, it will be found that the Atlas exercises are equally proper for more advanced pupils.
