GUYOT'S WORKS. 



THE EARTH AND MAN: Lectures on COMPARATIVE PHYSICAL 

 GEOGRAPHY, in its relation to the History of Mankind. By Prof. ARNOLD GUYOT. 

 Translated from the French, by Prof, G C. FELTON, with numerous Illustrations. 

 Eighth thousand. 12mo, cloth, 1,25. 



From Prof. Louis Agassiz, of Harvard University. 



It will not only render the study of Geography more attractive, but actually show it in its true light, 

 namely, as the science of the relations which exist between nature and man throughout history ; of 

 the contrasts observed between the different parts of the globe; of the laws of horizontal and vertical 

 forms of the dry land, in its contact with the sea; of climate, &c. It would be highly serviceable, it 

 it-cms to me. for the benefit of schools and teachers, that you should induce Mr. Guyot to write a se- 

 ries of graduated text books of geography, from the first elements up to a scientific treatise. It would 

 give new life to these studies in this country, and be the best preparation for sound statistical investi- 

 gations. 



From George S. ftillard. Esq., of Boston. 



Professor Gnyot's Lectures are marked by learning, ability, and taste. His bold and comprehen- 

 8(ve generalizations rest upon a careful foundation of facts. The essential value of his statements is 

 enhanced by his luminous arrangement, and by a vein of philosophical reflection which gives life and 

 dignity to dry details. To teachers of youth it will be especially important. They may learn from it 

 how to make Geography, which I recall as the least interesting of studies, one of the most attractive -, 

 and I earnestly commend it to their careful consideration. 



Those who have been accustomed to regard Geography as a merely descriptive branch of learn- 

 ing, drier than the remainder biscuit after a voyage, will be delighted to find this hitherto unattractive 

 pursuit converted into a science, the principles of which are definite and the results conclusive. 

 A'orth American Renew. 



The grand idea of the work is happily expressed by the aut ior, where he calls it the geographical 

 march of history. Faitli, science, learning, poetry, taste, in a word, genius, have liberally contributed 

 to the production of the work under review. Sometimes we feel as if we were studying a treatise on 

 the exact sciences ; at others, it strikes the ear like an epic poem. Now it reads like history, and now 

 it sounds like prophecy. It will find readers in whatever language it may be published. Christian 

 Examiner. 



The work is one of high merit, exhibiting a wide range of knowledge, great research, and a philo- 

 sophical spirit of investigation. Its perusal will well repay the most learned in such subjects, and 

 give new views to all of man's relation to the globe he inhabits. Silhman's Journal. 



COMPARATIVE PHYSICAL AND HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY; 

 or. the Study of the Earth and its Inhabitants. A series of graduated courses for the use 

 of Schools. By ARNOLD GUYOT, author of " Earth and Alan," etc. 



The series hereby announced will consist of three courses, adapted to the capacity of three different 

 ages and periods of study. The first is intended for primary schools and for children of from seven 

 to ten years. The second is adapted for higher schools, and for young persons of from ten to fifteen 

 years. The third is to be used as a scientific manual in Academies and Colleges. 



Each course will be divided into two parts, one on purely Physical Geography, the other for Eth- 

 nography, Statistics, Political and Historical Geography. Each part will be illustrated by a colored 

 Physical and Political Atlas, prepared expressly for this purpose, delineating, with the greatest cam, 

 the configuration of the surface, and the other physical phenomena alluded to in the corresponding 

 work, the distribution of the races of men, and the political divisions into states, &c., &c. 



The two parts of the first or preparatory course are now in a forward state of preparation, and wili 

 be issued at an early day.
