Description
Excerpt from Geography of Europe
IN this volume I have sought to present a general geographical sketch of Europe, and of the various States into which it is divided. In the case of each country the physical features are first described; then an attempt is made to mark the stages of its history, so far as they are related to geography. Next I have brought together some of the leading facts relating to government, population and national character, religion and education, and industry and trade. Finally, an account is given of the principal towns, these being generally grouped under the historic divisions to which they respectively belong.
For the reason stated in the text, only a short chapter on the British Isles has been written. This may suffice to show how closely Great Britain is associated with the Continent, with which it was at one time connected by land.
