Outlines of Practical Geography consisting
principally of Questions on the Maps, by Jo-
sEPH MUENsCHER, A. ri. Price % cents.
E1tract from the Preface.
" This little work consists principally of
Questions, the answers to which may be found
by an examination of the Maps They are
adapted particularly to Woodhridges highly ap
proved Atlas, and those questions which are in
cluded in brackets can be answered from no
maps but his. The answers TO the great body OF
them, however, may DO found on Worcesters
Morse S, or Goodrich's Atlas. The experience
and observation of the writer have convinced
him that the most successful and expeditions
way of acquiring a knowledge of Practical
Geography, is TO direct the attention almost
exclusively to the maps. The mass of facts re-
lating to Physical, Political, and Statistical
Geography, which are found in most treatises
on this science, may be read by the Student
with great advantage but the attempt TO bur
den the memory with them, is an improbable
employment of time. The object of the writer
in this little work has been to form Series of
Questions which will embrace every thing of
Importance to be found upon the Maps and in
the brief notes which are intersporsed through
out the book an attempt is made to combine
Ancient with Modern Geography, so far at
least as the names of the principal places are
concerned. The first section, it is believed,
contains more full and minute explanation of
mathematical Geography than can be found on
any elementary treatise on this subject
e. & G. M. publish and have for sale

the demand for this work, that the Publishers
