| Summary | "First Lessons in Geography" by James Monteith is an educational text aimed at young learners, written in the mid-19th century, around the 1850s. This book serves as an introductory geography textbook, designed for beginners to understand the basic concepts of geography without overwhelming details. It systematically covers the Earth's surface, including continents, countries, oceans, and fundamental geographic features. The content is structured into a series of lessons that use a question-and-answer format to explain key geographic concepts. Monteith discusses various aspects such as the definition of geography, the distinction between different types of landforms and bodies of water, and extensive details about continents and their respective countries. The book also integrates maps and simple exercises to facilitate learning, with an emphasis on general features rather than detailed minutiae. It concludes with a section recapping essential rivers, seas, lakes, and mountains, reinforcing the information for young readers and striving to instill a foundational understanding of geography.
