Under this Title, and in compliance with frequent requests from Teachers and Students, the Author has prepared for his Text-Books (Introductory and Advanced) two sets of Examination, with references, in each case, to the paragraphs of the Text on which the question is founded. Adapted to two grades of proficiency, and arranged, each as far as it goes, so as to present a systematic epitome of Physical Geography, these series of questions enable the Teacher to frame his examinations with greater sequence and connection than his time will ordinarily permit, while to the Student they afford a ready means of testing his own progress and proficiency.

NINTH AND ENLARGED EDITION WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS EDINBURGH AND LONDON MDCCCLXXVIII " If, preservings the etymological sense of the word Geography, we should, with many authors, undertake to limit this study to a simple description of the surface of the globe, and ofthe beings that are found there, we must at once renounce the idea of calling it by the name of science, in the exalted sense of this word.

To describe without rising to the causes, or descending to the consequences, is no more science than merely and simply to relate a fact of which one has been a witness. The geographer who thus understands his study, seems to make as little of geography as the chronicler of history." — Guyot's Earth and Man.
