Excerpt from A Complete Course in Geography, Physical, Industrial, and Political: With a Special Geography for Each State In regard to the maps of the United States, a device similar to the double text in the matter has been adopted, - that is to say, there are maps for general study and maps for particular reference to be used in connection with the State specialties. The general or section maps are obtained by an equal division of the United States into seven sections. These maps are, accordingly, on a uniform scale: their teaching, therefore, is true teaching, and not false teaching, as must be the case when, for example, the map of New England is made the same size as the map of the whole of the Great West. The maps for special reference in connection with State Geography show all the county lines, to'. Gether with the county seats, or shire towns. They will enable the pupil to make what most school maps do not permit a study of the political geography of his State, while for reference these maps will be found of permanent value.
