PREFACE.
IN presenting to the public a new work on the subject of Geography, the authors
claim for it nothing more than its name implies, viz. : that it is a Hand-Book of Map-
Drawing.
It is not intended to supersede the text-books of political and descriptive Geography
now in use, but to accompany them, as a means of fixing more indelibly in the memory
the facts therein contained.
The most effective mode of presenting a subject is through the sense of sight ; and
when a child has once sketched for himself the outlines of a country, drawn in the
mountain-chains, traced the water-systems, and located the principal cities, he will have
received more lasting impressions of its geographical features than could be obtained in
any other way.
The necessities of the school-room demand a method of presenting the subject of Geo-
graphy in a manner more natural and philosophical than has heretofore been adopted,
yet so simple as to be within the comprehension of any pupil of ordinary capacity.
We have endeavored in the present work to unite system with simplicity; and after two
years' experience in teaching Geography upon the principle herein laid down, we have
no hesitation in recommending it to instructors as a work tending materially to lessen
their labors, and greatly to facilitate the progress of their pupils in the study of Geography.
One advantage claimed for the work is that the grouping of the States and countries
has been based upon the principle of climate and productions, so that when a scholar
has learned what is true of one State or country, he may readily infer what is true in a
great many respects of all the other States or countries contained in that group.
The work is specially adapted to be used in connection with Mitchell's New Series of
Geographies, the figures having been constructed in accordance with his scale of maps.
If the work should tend in any degree to promote a more general interest in the sub-
ject of Geography, by making it more attractive to the scholar and more satisfactory to
the teacher, our object will have been attained.
CINCINNATI, June, 1869.
6 INTRODUCTION.
After the pupils can draw a correct outline, either on paper or slate, the map may be
completed ; and, in doing so, the natural order should be followed : first the moun-
tains, then the water-systems (lakes and rivers), then the cities and towns, &c. &c.
By this means an indelible image of the map will be formed in the minds of the
scholars, with an exactness of knowledge as to boundaries, mountain-chains, the rise
and directions of rivers, location of cities, &c., which could be acquired in no other way.
When the pupils have become familiar with the outline of the map, it is better to dis-
pense with the lines of the figure, indicating it merely by points, inasmuch as heavy
lines to a certain extent mar the beauty of the drawing. Thus, instead of actually
drawing the lines of a square, it answers equally well to indicate it by four points, allow-
ing the pupil to imagine that the lines extend from point to point.
The letters employed in the construction of the figures serve to simplify the explana-
tion, but are not intended to be used before a class, where the verbal explanation of the
teacher will supersede the necessity of lettering.
While the map thus drawn is before the class, the teacher should endeavor to awaken
an interest in the subject, and call forth the reasoning faculties of the scholars, by
directing their attention to certain results which naturally follow certain physical con-
ditions; such, for example, as the course of rivers following the general slope of the
country; the influence of navigable rivers upon internal commerce; the effect of high
mountain-chains, and of distance inland, together with that of distance from the equator,
upon climate.
In a similar manner the judicious teacher will be able to draw out from the class
certain facts concerning the nature of the soil and the kind of productions, as well
as the general character of the cities, from their location.
In this way there is a constant appeal to the highest power of the mind reason; and
the subsequent labor of memorizing the lessons from their regular text-books will be
rendered comparatively easy to the learners.
