Abstract
THE twelve maps are Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, India, and Australia. They are simple outlines, showing the courses of the chief rivers, the run of the mountains indicated by black lines, and the situation of the principal lakes. The maps, instead of names, are covered with a large number of figures which refer to a copious index at the end. The intention is, that after the student has become thoroughly familiar with the situations of the principal mountains, rivers, towns, and other features of a country, his knowledge should be tested by his being required to fill in, in these or similar skeleton maps, the names corresponding to the figures furnished or pointed out by the teacher. It is also intended to provide a handy method for drawing maps. We believe that if judiciously used, the method here indicated will be of good service for both purposes. The maps are well drawn, and, so far as we have tested them, accurately constructed.
