Excerpt from The Geography of Commerce Industry The book is planned for a three-years course. First year: Chapters I-XV inclusive. Second year: Chapters XVI-XXX inclusive. Third year: Chapters XXXI-XLI. In the first year we deal with general principles. In the second year we apply these principles to a detailed study of the practical questions connected with the geography of the British Isles. In the third year we have tried to work out the subject by considering the various countries of the world not as so many separate units to be treated "regionally" one by one, but rather as parts of a wider organic whole which can be studied with more advantage by groups based upon their relation with the world's great trade routes. The chapters have been so arranged that they can be taken in groups (e.g. Chapters VII-XII deal with transport). Thus groups may be omitted or reversed in order if necessary. In this way by judicious selection a two-years course can be planned which will give the student a sound working knowledge of the subject without omitting too much detail. The Questions have been framed to stimulate the reasoning powers of the student and to ensure a thorough study of the atlas, which is the basis of all sound geographical work. Any good cheap atlas, such as Bartholomew's Comparative Atlas, will do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
