Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Physical Geography: For the Use of Schools, Academies, and Colleges
But the advances, during comparatively recent years, have been so marked that at the earnest request of teachers from all parts of the country the author has prepared a new book, based on the general lines of the old work, but practically rewritten.
For convenience, the shape of the new book has been changed to a duodecimo, the size of the maps, however, being retained, by making them occupy the space of two pages, across which inserts are made.
In the preparation of the new book the author has endeavored so to proportion the subject matter as to give due prominence to such topics as, in his judgment, would prove of greatest value to the student. In this direction physiography has been treated more fully than in the older book. At the same time, however, he has studiously avoided giving such an-undue prominence to this part of the science as would necessitate the suppression of equally important topics. The influence of geological agencies in giving the earth its present surface features has been fully treated, and yet not so fully as practically to exclude the influences of these features on the climate, and this, in its turn, on vegetable and animal life, especially on the development and civilization of earth's highest type of life, man.

Excerpt from The Elements of Physical Geography: For the Use of Schools, Academies, and Colleges
In the preparation of this work, an endeavor has been made to supply a concise yet comprehensive text-book, suited to the wants of a majority of our schools.
The Author, in the course of his teaching, has experienced the need of a work in which unnecessary details should be suppressed, and certain subjects added, which, though usually omitted in works on Physical Geography, seem, in his judgment, to belong properly to the science. The variety of topics necessarily included under the head of Physical Geography renders it almost impossible to cover the entire ground of the ordinary text-books during the time which most schools are able to devote to the study, and the feeling of incompleted work thus impressed on the mind of both teacher and scholar is of the most discouraging nature.
To remove these difficulties, the Author, during the past few years, has arranged for his own students a course of study, which, with a few modifications, he has at last put into book form, thinking that it may prove beneficial to others.
The division of the text into large and small print has been made with a view of meeting the wants of different grades of schools, the large type containing only the more important statements, and the small type being especially designed for the use of the teacher and the advanced student. The maps have been carefully drawn by the Author according to the standard works and the latest authorities. Neither time nor expense has been spared to insure accuracy of detail and clearness of delineation.
Throughout the work no pains have been spared to insure strict accuracy of statement. Clearness and conciseness have been particularly aimed at; for which reason the names of authorities for statements which are now generally credited have been purposely omitted.
The Author has not hesitated to draw information from all the standard works on Geography, Physics, Geology, Astronomy, and other allied sciences; and in the compilation of the Pronouncing Vocabulary he acknowledges his indebtedness to Lippincott's Gazetteer of the World.
Acknowledgments are due to Mr. William M. Spackman, of Philadelphia, and Prof. Elihu Thomson, of the Central High School, for critical review of the manuscript. Also to Mr. M. Benjamin Snyder, of the Central High School, for revision of the proof-sheets of the chapter on Mathematical Geography.
