Leading Geographies 



NATURAL GEOGRAPHIES 



Elementary, $0.60 Advanced, $1.25 Brief, $0.80 



THE fundamental thought of these widely used books is 

 Earth as the Home of Man. While the main facts of 

 physical geography are admirably set forth, this is not 

 done to the neglect of commercial and political features. 

 Corresponding maps are drawn to the same scale, because 

 by no other method can the relative size of different coun- 

 tries be shown. Illustrations, diagrams, topics for oral and 

 written work, and suggestions for collateral reading are among 

 other points of superiority. The Brief Geography forms a 

 one-book course. 



MORTON'S GEOGRAPHIES 



Elementary, $0.55 Advanced, $1.20 



THE general excellence of these text books is indisputable. 

 The subject is presented in a simple, clear, and logical 

 manner, the text being written in a style easily under- 

 stood by children. The maps are conspicuous for their beauty 

 and distinctness, and the illustrations are unusually artistic and 

 attractive. 



RODDY'S GEOGRAPHIES 



Elementary, $0.50 Complete, $1.00 



THESE geographies are intended primarily as an " informa- 

 tion " series, yet the causal relations, while by no means 

 ignored, are kept within elementary bounds. The books 

 are notable for their brevity of statement, their simplicity of 

 presentation, and their excellent maps. Just enough physiog- 

 raphy is included to develop the subject of geography funda- 

 mentally in its true relations and to give the study a new 

 interest. 



TARBELL'S GEOGRAPHIES 



Introductory, $0.50 Complete, $1.00 



IN these books the subject is treated in a simple, concrete 

 manner, inductive in the earlier portions and deductive in 

 the later treatment. Physiography is made the foundation 

 of the study; and industrial and commercial geography, depen- 

 dent largely on physical geography and closely connected with 

 human interests, are considered of' great importance. The 

 maps, illustrations, and system of reviews are all noteworthy.
