A propos de cet article

The Rand-McNally Grammar School Geography is an 1895 educational textbook designed to introduce students to the fundamental principles of geography and the physical, political, and cultural characteristics of the world. Written for grammar school instruction, the book provides a structured overview of geographic knowledge through the use of maps, diagrams, illustrations, and descriptive narratives that help students understand the relationship between people and their environments. The text begins with foundational geographic concepts, including the shape of the Earth, latitude and longitude, hemispheres, climates, landforms, bodies of water, and map-reading skills. Students are introduced to methods of locating places, interpreting geographic features, and understanding the natural forces that influence the planet's surface. The book emphasizes observation, spatial awareness, and the practical use of maps in everyday life. Regional chapters examine various countries, continents, and major geographic regions, describing their landscapes, climates, resources, industries, transportation systems, and populations. Particular attention is given to the United States, exploring individual states, major cities, rivers, mountain ranges, agricultural areas, and commercial centers. International sections provide overviews of Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and other world regions, encouraging a broader understanding of global geography. Illustrated maps and engravings support the instructional content by visually presenting geographic information and helping students connect written lessons with physical locations. The book also incorporates lessons on trade, commerce, natural resources, and the ways geography influences economic and social development. Overall, the volume serves as a comprehensive introduction to geographic education, combining physical geography, human geography, map skills, and world knowledge in a format intended for classroom learning and independent study. There are 167 pages of main text, followed by 35 more pages on the New England States! Looking at this book in 2026, it is amazing that in 1895, this was GRAMMAR SCHOOL LEVEL education (approximately grades 5 through 8)! Here is a perfect example of how the modern education system has COMPLETELY FAILED our children over the last 120 years! Hard cover edition. 167 pages. Dimensions: 10" by 12".
