MoreThe following work is designed as a first book of Geography, to be used in the instruction of children in Families andS chools, as soon as they can spell and read with facility. The Author has endeavoured to render it simple marrangement, and easy of comprehension. He has also aimed at making the descriptive matter characteristic and concise; to embody it in short sentences and paragraphs, and in plain English, without being trifling or childish. The Primary Gboorapht forms the commencement of aS eries of School Books, which, in connexion with Mitchell sS chool Geography and A tlas, Geographical Reader, and High School Geograiy and A tlas, will elucidate the Geography of our own, and the other countries of the earth. The work is divided into eighty-three Lessons, seventy-six of which are devoted to the illustration of Geography, and seven relate to A stronomy. A few of the first Lessons are arranged partly in the method of Question and A nswer; and in these, where the Pupils are required to find the answers, the latter are numbered, to agree with each series of questions respectively. In the first three-fourtltt of the book, the words of the answers are printed in Italic type; in the remainder, there is no such distinction, and the pupils are required to ascertain the requisite answers by their own discernment. It will iius be perceived that the plan of the Primary Geography is to lead the learner forward by easy and gradual steps, so as to prepare the youthful mind for an introduction into a more advanced study of this important science.
