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 illustra-tion, 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. Includes questions for study.
