Excerpt from Peter Parley's Universal History, on the Basis of Geography

Parley begins by telling about History, Geography, and other Matters.

1. I suppose you have often met with the words History and Geography. History tells the story of mankind since the world was created, and may be compared to an old man who has lived for thousands bf years, and who has seen cities built and fall into decay; who has seen nations rise, flourish, and disappear; and who, with a memory full of wonderful things, sits down to tell you of all that has happened during so many ages.
