Excerpt from The Telluric Manual: A Guide to the Study of Swigert's Lunar Tellurian

A careful study of places, as outlined in the first chap ters of the Manual, is expected. After this the phenomena caused by the rotation of 'the earth on her axis, the inclina tion of the earth's axis, and_ the revolution of the earth around the sun are to be studied. This will teach the pupil the intimate relation that exists between latitude, the length of days and nights, and the distribution of light and heat. By easy steps he is led to fully understand all that is said in the chapter on Climate.

The study of the Tellurian as herein directed will be found to possess much value in acquiring a knowledge of Physical Geography.

Hitherto the globe has been presented as an abstract study. The author of the Telluric Manual invites your attention to a new treatment of this subject, and begs your indulgence.
