Excerpt from The Canadian West: A Geography of Manitoba and the North-West TerritoriesAS far as it has been found possible, the geography of Western Canada as outlined in this little work has been treated from an inductive standpoint, based on the as sumption that those who study the home region have a fair knowledge of the earth as a whole and the continents.While this is in no way a picture-book, an effort has been made to assist the child to grasp a broad and strong picture of the country by presenting a series of related topics rather than a great number of uninteresting and unrelated facts. The illustrations have been chosen and the maps prepared with the purpose of assisting in the understanding of the text.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
