O knihe

Excerpt from Maps, Their History, Characteristics and Uses: A Handbook for Teachers

The object Of the course was that-oi creating an interest, from the educational point Of View, in the rather neglected subject of Cartography, and of supplying, in a succinct and systematic form, materials useful in themselves as suggestions for more detailed study. It embodies the history of map-production from the earliest times, from the point of view of both, science and practice and from that equally of the continuous development of the graphic art as applied to the pictorial and technical representation of sections of the earth's surface on paper or other suitable material.

For the Teacher the knowledge of at least an outline of the History of Cartography is essential as a foundation. It alone can enable him to grasp the true elements of the science as applied to the highly conventional map of the scholastic and geographic system of to-day.

It is believed that no Hand - hook at present exists which groups in a compact and accessible form the large. Mass of materials which are actually accumulated in standard works and. At our disposal for study.

The present publication is an attempt to supply to the Teacher something in the nature of a Guide, but it is also hoped that it will be considered adequate in itself as an outline and foundation for actual class-teaching.

On the historical side at all events the indications afforded may be sufficient for this purpose.
