Carpenter's new geographical reader; Europe

PREFACE.

This book aims to give the children a plain and simple de-
scription of the countries of Europe as they are to-day. The
method is by taking the little ones on a personally conducted tour
over the continent. It is the children themselves who cross the
Atlantic Ocean, steam over the Baltic and the Mediterranean
seas and down the historic Rhine and the Danube. It is they
who climb the Alps and stand on the North Cape watching the
sun shine at midnight. It is they who go from city to city, from
farm to farm, and factory to factory, seeing how the various
peoples live and what they are doing in the work of the world.
It is they who are admitted to the palaces, parliaments, and
public offices where they learn how each nation is governed and
something as to its civilization, commerce, and trade.

It is not intended that these travels should take the place of the
school geographies, but that they should be used with such books
as supplementary reading. As in the volumes describing similar
tours in North America, South America, and Asia, the text-books
on geography may be regarded as the skeleton and this reader as
the flesh and blood which will clothe the dry bones and make
the countries a living whole in the minds of the pupils.

A glance at the table of contents will give some idea of the
scope and character of the work. The children, having crossed
the Atlantic on one of the big ocean greyhounds, begin their tour
in the United Kingdom. Landing at Queenstown, they explore
Ireland, visiting Cork, Killarney, Limerick, and Galway. They
cross the bog lands and plains to Dublin, and thence go to the
Giant's Causeway and Belfast, where they learn how linen is made.
From Belfast, they sail to Glasgow, and after spending a while in
the Lowlands or Industrial Scotland go to Edinburgh by the
Trossachs. They make a hunting trip to the Highlands, and visit
the homes of Robert Burns and Walter Scott before crossing the
border to England.
