Tarr and McMurry's Geographies
COMMENTS
North Plainfield, N.J.—"I think it the best Geography that I have seen."—H. J. Wightman, Superintendent.
Boston, Mass.—"I have been teaching the subject in the Boston Normal School for over twenty years, and Book I is the book I have been looking for for the last ten years. It comes nearer to what I have been working for than anything in the geography line that I have yet seen. I congratulate you on the good work."—Miss L. T. Moses, Normal School.
Detroit, Mich.—"I am much pleased with it and have had enthusiastic praise for it from all the teachers to whom I have shown it. It seems to me to be scientific, artistic, and convenient to a marked degree. The maps are a perfect joy to any teacher who has been using the complicated affairs given in most books of the kind." —Agnes McRae
De Kalb, Ill.—"I have just finished examining the first book of Tarr and McMurry's Geographies. I have read the book with care from cover to cover. To say that I am pleased with it is expressing it mildly. It seems to me just what a geography should be. It is correctly conceived and admirably executed. The subject is approached from the right direction and is developed in the right proportions. And those maps—how could they be any better? Surely authors and publishers have achieved a triumph in text-book making. I shall watch with interest for the appearance of the other two volumes."—Professor Edward C. Page, Northern Illinois State Normal School.
Asbury Park, N.J.—"I do not hesitate at all to say that I think the Tarr and McMurry's Geography the best in the market."—F. S. Shepard, Superintendent of Schools.
Ithaca, N.Y.—"I am immensely pleased with Tarr and McMurry's Geography."—Charles De Garmo, Professor of Pedagogy, Cornell University.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] Owing to a difference in the methods of reckoning time used by England and other nations between the years 1582 and 1752,—when all became practically alike,—it was common to make use of "double-dating." In so doing, the terms, "Old Style" and "New Style" were used, and to make the dates of the former and the latter correspond, ten days are added to all dates of the period between 1582 and 1700. December 11, 1620, Old Style, would be, in our present reckoning, December 21, 1620 ("Forefathers' Day").
[2] At the beginning of a letter, Dear Sir may be followed by (1) a comma, (2) a comma and a dash, or (3) a colon. It should never be followed by a semicolon. (3) is more formal than (2) and (1).
[3] The usage of many writers and publishers, however, is to omit commas in such cases; that is, they prefer "a, b and c," to "a, b, and c." The latter usage, as described above, is followed in this book.
[4] On an envelope it is becoming customary to omit all punctuation at the end of lines, except periods after abbreviations.
[5] Notice that the names of the seasons do not begin with capitals unless they are personified.
Transcriber's note:
Italics have replaced underlined words.
Small capital text has been replaced with all capitals.
Minor typographical and punctuation errors have been corrected without note. Irregularities and inconsistencies in the text have been retained as printed.
Mismatched quotes are not fixed if it's not sufficiently clear where the missing quote should be placed.
The cover for the eBook version of this book was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
