Excerpt from A Geography of Essex County The pupil should be provided with a geography and map of Essex County, and a small blackboard 18 inches long by 15 broad. If this cannot be easily procured, a slate and pencil will very well answer the purpose. Let his attention first be directed to the map, and inform him that the top is north, the bottom south, the right/hand east, and the left hand west. Let him find on the map the town where he re sides, and observe carefully its shape, its ponds, its rivers, and its mountains. All these he is to draw from the map upon his small black board with chalk, and to draw them ov er and over again, till he can do it accurately from his mem ory alone. Next, the boundaries of the town are to be learn ed. The pupil may then leave the map and see what is said of the town in the geography. He will find an account of it in'its alphabetical place among the towns of the county. To show the pupil that he can understand the whole matter, and that it is one of his own concern, he may be encouraged to consider what things there may be worthy of notice in the town besides those mentioned in the book, as mills or facto ries, ponds. Streams, hills, or mountains. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
