Elementary Geography.

(J^* These volumes are not revisions of old works, not an addition to any series, 

 but are entirely new productions, each by itself complete, independent, comprehen- 

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

 " series " ever ottered for a common-school course. They present the following features, 

 skilfully interwoven, the student learning all about one country at a time. Always 

 revised to date of printing. 



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; illus- 

 trated by the original <uul striking WfcLiEF 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, &c. 



HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY. Or, a brief summary of the salient points of 

 history, explaining the present distribution of nations, origin of geographical 

 names, &c. 



MATHEMATICAL GEOGRAPHY. Including Astronomical, which describes 

 the Earth's position and character among planets ; also the Zones, Parallels, &c. 



COMPARATIVE GEOGRAPHY. Or, a system of analogy, connecting new 

 lessons with the previous ones. Comparative sizes and latitudes are shown on the 

 margin of each map, and all countries are measured in the " frame of Kansas. " 



TOPICAL GEOGRAPHY. Consisting of questions for review, and testing 

 the student's general and specific knowledge of the subject, with suggestions 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-Drawing by Allen's "Unit of Measure- 

 ment " 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 each book a set 

 of map segments is furnished, with which each student may make his own globe by 

 following the directions given. 



RAILROAD GEOGRAPHY. With a grand commercial map of the United 

 States, illustrating steamer and railroad routes of travel in the United States, submarine 

 telegraph lines, &c. Also a " Practical Tour in Europe." 



MONTEITH AND McNALLY'S SYSTEM. 



THREE AND FIVE BOOKS. NATIONAL COURSE. 



Monteith's First Lessons in Geography. 

 Monteith's New Manual of Geography. 

 McNally's System of Geography. 



The new edition of McNally's Geography is now ready, rewritten throughout by 

 James Monteith and S. C. Frost. In its new dress, printed from new type, and illus- 

 trated with 100 new engravings, it is the latest, most attractive, as well as the most 

 thoroughly practical book on geography extant.
