OF

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.

BY

GEORGE W. FITCH.

ILLUSTRATED BY

Six Maps and numerous Engravings.

"LET me once understand the real geography of a country,-its organ.c structure, if I
may so call it; the form of its skeleton,-that is, of its hills; the magnitude and course of
its veins and arteries,—that is, of its streams and rivers; let me conceive of it as a whole,
made up of connected parts; and then the position of man's dwellings, viewed in refer-
ence to these parts, becomes at once easily remembered, and lively and intelligible besides."
DR. ARNOLD.
