Excerpt from A Human Geography of the British Isles Climate. The average conditions of wind, rainfall, dampness, and temperature. Weather. The actual conditions of temperature, wind, and rainfall experienced. The general conditions affecting the climate of a region are (1) its latitude, (2) its nearness to the sea, (3) the ocean currents which wash its shores, (4) the winds which cross it, (5) the position of its mountains, (6) the height of the region above sea-level, and (7) the nature and slope of its surface. (I.) Latitude. - Generally speaking, the nearer one gets to the poles the colder the temperature becomes. The reasons for this are that nearer the poles: (a) The sun's rays strike the earth obliquely, and have to heat and light a much greater area than is the case with the rays reaching the earth near the equator. (b) To a much less extent the sun's rays have to pass through a thicker layer of air, and consequently lose more heat before reaching the earth, than is the case at the equator.

Excerpt from A Geography of the British Isles In this Series I have tried to embody the experience of a teacher and of an examiner. This experience has led me to several conclusions, which will, I believe, be confirmed by most practical teachers who are interested in Geography as a subject of real educational value: - 1. That map in text-books cannot generally be used directly with the text, as it is impracticable to hare the book open in more than one place at a time; bat that their presence in books has led to a regrettable neglect of the Atlas. 2. That an excessive variety of type and other mechanical devices for classification confuse the average pupil. 3. That most text-books contain much which would be better learned from the Atlas, or which is only an unnecessary tax on the memory. Consequently, this Series contains no maps and little variety of type; and I have intentionally avoided mentioning, e.g. exact heights, distances or sizes, small industries, and unimportant places. Wherever any definite comparisons are made, they are intended only for reference, and not to be learnt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Commercial Geography of the British Isles The occupations of men, therefore, have a natural distribution. On the coast they become fishers, sailors, or traders; on the plains, farmers; on the hills, shepherds; while mining and other industries depend ing upon coal and iron spring up where these sources of natural wealth are available. Looking at a physical map of the British Isles, the south-east of Great Britain and the centre of Ireland are seen to be plains; the northern half of Great Britain and all the west and the corners of Ireland are generally mountainous, with plains of small extent. The south-east and east of Great Britain, therefore, are mainly agricultural, and the west mainly pastoral. Agriculture is more developed in Ireland on the central plain than in the mountains to the north west and south, but cattle-rearing is everywhere more important than the cultivation of the soil. This is largely due to the heavy rains, an illustration of the fact that climate as well as relief helps to deter mine the nature and distribution of occupations.

Excerpt from Our Home-Lands: A Regional Study of the Geography of the British Isles When the great Roman general, Julius Caesar, came and saw and conquered our island, there was living in Rome another famous man named Virgil. He was not a soldier, but a poet, and is often spoken of as the Prince of the Latin Poets. In one of his books, Virgil wrote of the island that Caesar had conquered, and said that it was remote from the world. At that time, two thousand years ago, there were far fewer people in the world than there are now. The great nations who made up the Old World of people lived around the Mediterranean, or Middle Sea. They believed that the earth was flat; they knew nothing of the New World of America, or of the great land we call Australia they knew very little of the continent of Africa.

Excerpt from The Senior Geography The letters which the editor of this series has received in recent years from all parts of the country, and from the colonies, have induced him to plan these books. Instead of two unrelated sections of physical and political geography as in older textbooks, an attempt has been made to write a series of geographies which contains the information usually expected from candidates for preliminary, junior, and senior local examinations, and other examinations of a similar standard, on geographical and educational lines. The first or preliminary volume was largely descriptive, and aimed at presenting definite pictures of the different regions of the globe, together with an outline of the salient topographical features. In the second or junior book a more definitely causal treatment was aimed at, and attention was specially drawn to the interrelation between configuration, climate, vegetation, and human activities. The geography of the British Isles was selected for specially full treatment on these lines, and the inductive method was freely employed to establish general geographical truths which are taken as axiomatic in the present volume. In this, the third or senior volume, it is assumed that pupils already possess some concrete knowledge of the world as a whole, and are familiar with the outlines of the general and economic geography of each continent. This renders it possible to proceed to the consideration of the world according to its Natural Regions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Short Geography of the British Islands Their attempt to realise it does somewhat to make the study of Geography a more living and attractive thing the errors of detail which such a work can hardly have escaped may well be pardoned. For the study of Geography, small as is the part allotted to it in actual teaching, is one which must occupy place in any rational system of primary.

Excerpt from Ethnology of the British Islands Then remains? A fresh series of researches, which our very superiority of knowledge has developed; inquiries which, with an imperfectly known popu lation, would be impossible. Who speculates to any extent upon such questions as the degrees of intermixture between the Moors and the true Negroes of Nubia? Who grapples with such a problem as the date of the occupation of New Guinea? Such and such-like points are avoided; simply because the data for working them are wanting. Yet with an area like the British Isles, they are both possible and pertinent. More than this. In such countries there must either be no ethnology at all, or it must be of the minute kind, since the primary and fundamental questions, which constitute nine-tenths of our inquiries else where, are already answered.
