THIS textbook represents a new departure in geography 

 for secondary schools — the correlation of physical and 

 commercial geography. It is an effort to afford a clear 

 idea of the relation between the earth and man, showing both 

 the dependence of human Hte upon natural conditions, and 

 the influence of those condidons in turn upon human life. 

 ^ Part I is devoted to a brief account of physical geography, 

 which forms the necessary basis of study, only those features 

 and processes being emphasized which have directly affected 

 man in his progress. Each topic is treated as to its economic 

 relations, showing how the form and present physical condi- 

 tion ot the earth affect commerce and civilization. 

 ^ Part II, economic geography, reverses the point of view 

 of the first part. Here the outhnes of household manage- 

 ment practised by the great human family are presented 

 against the background of the natural earth already shown. 

 By this method of treatment both physical and economic 

 geography are made to have a double interest and value. 

 ^ Part III furnishes a more detailed, intimate, and graphic 

 study of economic geography, arranged according to the 

 different types of environment, with reference to the econo- 

 mic adaptations of human life. The treatment is by natural 

 rather than by political divisions. 



^ The book contains an unusually large number and variety 

 of maps and illustrations, which are given in close connection 

 with the text.
