| Summary | "The Boston School Atlas, Embracing a Compendium of Geography" by B. Franklin Edmands is an educational publication written in the early 19th century. This work serves as a geographical textbook designed primarily for young learners, structured to introduce them to the principles of geography through maps and accompanying explanations. The content reflects an early approach to geographical education, aiming to provide foundational knowledge essential for further studies in the subject. The opening portion of the atlas includes a preface that outlines the book's purpose and its pedagogical approach, featuring a systematic method for teaching geography and astronomy. The text emphasizes practical learning through the use of maps, defining key geographical terms and concepts, such as the elements of land and water, physical and civil geography, and the various types of geographical features like continents, oceans, mountains, and rivers. As the atlas is intended for educational use, the author stresses the importance of engaging with the maps and encourages instructors to guide students through both recitations and practical exercises, establishing a foundational understanding of the earth's structure and the fundamental principles of geography.
