Regards 'a physical geography' as the school book combining 'the greatest amount of entertainment with the most important instruction'. After noting the welter of geographical information given in the book, argues that 'if such a series of maps, with most useful introductory matter on animals, volcanoes, &c., be not the very thing to charm and instruct a boy, we have forgotten our school-days certainly'.
