"Let me once understand the real geography of a country, its organic structure, if I may so call it; the form of its skeleton, that is, of its hills; the magnitude and course of its veins and arteries, that is, of its streams and rivers; let me conceive of it as a whole, made up of connected parts; and then the position of man's dwellings, viewed in reference to these parts, become at once easily remembered, and lively and intelligible besides."

DR. ARNOLD.
