| Catalog Notes | "In the present work, I have ventured to treat a subject usually presented in a systematic form, in a somewhat colloquial manner, taking often a story-teller's latitude in the use of phraseology, in the method of illustration, and in the arrangement of facts. ... It is this adaptation of geography to early instruction, that has brought it into almost universal use, as a first study for children."--Preface, signed "P.P.", p. [v]-vi.
