MITCHELL'S GEOGRAPHICAL SERIES.
This work is designed to occupy a medium place between the Author's
Primary, and the well known School Geography and Atlas, of which last
book it contains about two-thirds of the amount of matter.
Like the Primary Geography, the Map Questions are upon the same or
opposite page to the map itself, so that in no case have the leaves to
be turned to find an answer to the question.
Superior excellence is claimed for this book, on account of the natural
and progressive order of the lessons,--of the conciseness and
truthfulnes of the descriptive matter,--of the number, correctness, and
uniform excellence of the Maps,--from the fact that the book is
faithfully revised as often as political changes in our own or other
countries require it,--that the pronunciations of the difficult
geographical names are given,--and finally, on account of the superior
mechanical execution of the work.
