Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Junior Stage, children are concerned mainly with learning the shorthand of geography and the main facts with regard to the life of man upon the earth. For this reason an attempt has been made in this book to provide a fairly large number or illustrations of geographical shorthand, and to present an account of the world based upon an estimate of the relative importance of the workers in one country in comparison with those who labour in oiher lands. It is suggested that attention should be paid to the practical work and to the exercises, since at this stage in the study of geography the pupil should work very largely lor himself. At the same time, the habit of self-reliance, which individual work engenders, will facilitate the quick grasp of generalisations, and the world outlook, for which material is supplied in my larger volume, AG eography of theW orld. Hearty thanks are due to the publishers for their lavish supply of maps and pictures ;to theE ditors, Sir Richard Gregory and Mr. A. T. Simmons, for their cordial sympathy and many suggestions ;to Messrs. Emery Walker, Ltd., for great care in making the maps and diagrams, which appear to me to be of special excellence ;and toM iss H. G. Whitton, for her suggestions and careful reading of the proofs. Permission has been kindly granted by the Royal Geographical Society to make Fig. 22 from a map published inT he Geographical Journal; by Messrs, john Bartholomew Co. to make use ofT he Atlas of Meteorology in the construction ofF ig. 140; and by Messrs. Gall Inglis to reproduce Fig. 35 from their Contour Road Book of England. The Indian and United States Governments kindly supplied photographs and maps to illustrate plane-table surveying.
