It has been universally admitted by the press that our two recent works , " The Popular Atlas , " and * ' The Popular County Atlas , " have done much in this I direction ; but throughout their progress we felt something was wanting to convey to the youthful mind correct ideas of the meanings of geographical terms . To most children geography is a " dry " study , and we fear that the manner in which it is taught in many schools does nothing to relieve it of this character . True , definitions of terms appear in most geographies , but they , like subsequent lessons , are oftentimes made subjects for rote-learning . Most scholars can repeat " by heart " the counties of their own country , and possibly the capitals of most others , as well as similar lists which they have learnt ; but they have little idea of the real appearance of a gulf , an isthmus , or an estuary , much less of their influence or relative importance in the disposition of the earth ' s surface . Our view has been arranged to show the different formations as they appear in nature , so that their various functions can be seen at a glance . ^^^^^ i ^^^^^^ d ^ ^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^^^&^^^^^^^^^^^^^ P ^ I ^ P ^^^^^^ P ^^^ I ^^ P ^^^^^^ J ^^^ P ^^^ ^ ^ JP ^^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ P ^ ^ ^^^ fP ^^^ B ^^^^ I ^^^ J ^^ P ^^ ^ I ^^ fl ^^^^^^ F ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ F ^^ ^^& ^^^^^^^^^ f ^ ^ P ^^^ ^ ^ ^ F ^^ LIST OF OBJECTS DEPICTED . 1 .
