The first part presents a comprehensive treatment of the geography of Africa. The second part is an elementary presentation of physical and mathematical geography. Africa today, in spite of many centuries of world development since Egypt was the center of the civilization of the world, is still largely undeveloped. Future years will undoubtedly bring this continent to the fore among rich, productive, and advancing civilizations. The study of the geography of Africa therefore is an interesting and valuable step in the pupil's understanding of the world." --- from the Preface.. First Edition. Gray Cloth.
