“A FAIR knowledge of Geography is essential to the full development and exercise of intelligence, and is not only an advantage but a great delight. Its study however, as usually pursued, is too often wearisome and unsatisfactory. Many find the facts extremely difficult to learn, and experience an unenviable facility in forgetting them...
WILLIAM STOKES,
15, Margaret Street,
TEACHER OF MEMORY.
Cavendish Square, London, W.
January 1st, 1868.”
