NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE 



APPLETON'S 



GEOGRAPHICAL SERIES. 



Edited by H. J. MACKINDER, M. A., Student of Christ Church, 



Reader in Geography in the University of Oxford, 



Principal of Reading College. 



Tlie series will consist of twelve volumes, each being an essay descriptive 

 of a great natural region, its marked physical features, and the life of its people. 

 Together the volumes will give a complete account of the world, more especially 

 as the field of human activity. 



The series is intended for reading rather than for reference, and will stand 

 removed on the one hand from the monumental work of Reclus, and on the 

 other from the ordinary text-book, gazetteer, and compendium. 



P^ach volume is to be illustrated by many maps printed in colors and by 

 diagrams in the text, and it will be a distinguishing characteristic of the series 

 that both maps and diagrams will be drawn so that eacli of them .shall convey 

 some salient idea, and that together they shall constitute a clear epitome of the 

 writer's argument. With a like object, the jjictures also will be chosen so as 

 to illustrate the text and not merely to decorate it. A detailed announcement 

 of this important series will be presented later.
