Abstract
THE author claims to have written “according to the spirit of the New Geography,” to give due consideration to the influence that the relief of the land has upon the circulation of the atmosphere, the climate, the distribution of flora and fauna, and the settlement of population; he explains that the latter is influenced considerably by the distribution of mineral deposits, while the nature of the industries affects the commerce of the country and shapes its political institutions.
