The National Series of Standard 



GEOGRAPHY-Continued, 



MONTEITH'S INDEPENDENT COURSE. 

 Elementary Geography 

 Comprehensive Geography (with 103 Maps) 



These volumes are not revisions of old works not an addition to any 



series but are entirely new productions each by itself complete, independent, 

 comprehensive, yet simple, brief, cheap, and popular ; or, taken together, the most 

 admirable " series " ever offered for a common-school course. They present the 

 following features, skillfully interwoven the student learning all about one country 

 at a time. 



LOCAL GEOGRAPHY, or the Use of Maps. Important features of 

 the Maps are the coloring of States as objects, and the ingenious system for laying 

 down a much larger number of names for reference than are found on any other 

 Maps of same size and without crowding. 



PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, or the Natural Features of the Earth, 

 Illustrated by the original and striking Relief Maps, being bird's-eye views or 

 photographic pictures of the Earth's surface. 



DESCRIPTIVE GEOGRAPHY, including the Physical ; with some 

 account of Governments, and Races, Animals, etc. 



HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY, or a brief summary of the salient 

 ooints of history, explaining the present distribution of nations, origin of geo- 

 graphical names, etc. 



MATHEMATICAL GEOGRAPHY, including ASTRONOMICAL. 

 which describes the Earth's position and character among planets ; also the Zones. 

 Parallels, etc. 



COMPARATIVE GEOGRAPHY, or a system of analogy, con- 

 necting new lessons with the previous ones. Comparative sizes and latitudes arc 

 ehown on the margin of each Map, and all countries are measured in the "frain* 



TOPICAL GEOGRAPHY, consisting of questions for review, an<J 

 testing the student's general and specific knowledge of the subject, with sugges- 

 tions for Geographical Compositions. 



ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY. A section devoted to this subject, with 

 Maps, will be appreciated by teachers. It is seldom taught in our common schools, 

 because it has heretofore required the purchase of a separate book. 



GRAPHIC GEOGRAPHY, or MAP-DBAWTNG by Allen's "Unit oi 

 Measurement" system (now almost universally recognized as without a rival) is 

 introduced throughout the lessons, and not as an appendix. 



CONSTRUCTIVE GEOGRAPHY, or GLOBE-MAKING. With eacX 

 book a set of Map Segments is furnished, with which each student may make hia 

 own Globe by following the directions given. 



RAILROAD GEOGRAPHY, with a grand Map illustrating route* 



af travel in the United States. Also, a " Tour in Europe."
