Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short Geography of the British Islands No drearier task can be set for the worst of criminals than that of studying a set of geographical textbooks such as the children in our schools are doomed to use. Pages of "tables," "tables" of heights and "tables" of areas, "tables" of mountains and "tables" of table-lands, "tables" of numerals which look like arithmetical problems, but are really statements of population: these, arranged in an alphabetical order or disorder, form the only breaks in a chaotic mass of what are amusingly styled "geographical facts," which turn out simply to be names, names of rivers and names of hills, names of counties and names of towns, a mass barely brought into grammatical shape by the needful verbs and substantives, and dotted over with isolated phrases about mining here and cotton-spinning there, which pass for Industrial Geography.
