Excerpt from Manual of Geography, Embracing the Key to Mitchell's Series of Outline Maps: Revised and Improved It may now be assumed with confidence, that Mitchell's Series of Outline Maps and Key, furnish the most complete and perfect means for the study of Physical Geography, yet presented to the public; and Physical Geography is, or should be the first study of the young geographer. The youngest pupils of our schools are found readily to acquire a very thorough knowledge of the earth's surface, as rep resented by these maps, and it is believed that the impressions thus made upon the mind, through the eye, of even such pupils, will be more abiding, than if made at a more advanced age. The maps with the Key may be used by the teacher, either in the class, or for simultaneous instruction of the entire school. A thorough knowledge of Physical Geography having been thus acquired, the pupil is prepared to enter intelligently upon the study of Descriptive Geography, as presented, in a condensed and system atic manner, in the following work.
