Cornell's Physical Geography: 



ACCOMPANIED WITH NINETEEN PAGES OF MAPS, A GREAT VARIETY OF MAP 



QUESTIONS, AND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY DIAGRAMS AND 



PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS ; AND EMBRACING A 



DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE 



Physical Features of the United States* 



By s. s. CORNELL. 



1 vol. Large 4to. 104 pages. 



The attention of teachers is particularly requested to this new volume 

 by the Author of Cornell's popular Series of Geographies, in the belief 

 that it will be found to embrace all that is valuable and interesting in 

 this important branch of study, and to be, beyond competition, the best 

 text-book on the subject. It is no mere rehash of time-honored details, but 

 has been drawn from original sources, and is on a level with the present 

 advanced state of the science. Clearness, adaptation to the school-room, 

 inductiveness of arrangement, and the presentation of one thing at a 

 time and every thing in its proper place features which have contrib- 

 uted so largely to the success of the other Geographies of the CORNELL 

 Series are among its striking characteristics. 



It is interesting to the learner. The dry statistical style usual in 

 similar text-books has been avoided, and the great wonders of Nature, 

 always fascinating to the inquiring mind, are presented in the most strik- 

 ing manner, so as to rivet the attention and impress the memory. 



The illustrations are numerous and beautiful, and are used wherever 

 it was thought they would help to elucidate the text. Maps and diagrams 

 have been liberally introduced. The maps are executed in the finest 

 style of the art carefully drawn, distinctly engraved, and tastefully col- 

 ored according to the most approved style. Each map is accompanied 

 with questions in great variety. 



The physical features of our own country receive particular attention 

 in a closing chapter. The student is aided by a fine Physical Map of the 

 United States, which (hi addition to the features usually presented) shows 

 the mean annual temperature of diiferent parts of the country, the vege- 

 table products of different sections, and their mineral resources, the rela- 

 tive values of the precious metals produced in the several States being 

 clearly represented to the eye by an ingenious plan. A Map of Alaska, 

 on a comparatively large scale, is also presented. 



It is believed that the above features, besides others which there ie 

 no space here to enumerate, cannot fail to recommend this work to all.
