Excerpt from The Last Secrets: The Final Mysteries of Exploration The first two decades of the twentieth century will rank as a most distinguished era in the history of exploration, for during them many of the great geographical riddles of the world have been solved. This book contains a record of some of the main achievements. What Nansen said of Polar exploration is true of all exploration; its story is a "mighty manifestation of the power of the Unknown over the mind of man." The Unknown, happily, will be always with us, for there are infinite secrets in a blade of grass, and an eddy of wind, and a grain of dust, and human knowledge will never attain that finality when the sense of wonder shall cease. But to the ordinary man there is an appeal in large, bold, and obvious conundrums, which is lacking in the minutioe of research. Thousands of square miles of the globe still await surveying and mapping, but most of the exploration of the future will be the elucidation of details. The main lines of the earth's architecture have been determined, and the task is now one of amplifying our knowledge of the groyning and buttresses and stone-work.

Excerpt from Discoverers and Explorers During the time the pupil is acquiring this ele mentary knowledge of the world as a whole, certain facts of history may be interrelated with the geo graphical study. According to the plan already suggested, it will be seen that the pupil is carried out from a study of the limited area of land and water about him to an idea of the world as a sphere, with its great distribution of land and water. In this transference he soon comes to perceive how small a part his hitherto known world forms of the great earth-sphere itself.

Excerpt from Stories of Exploration and Discovery This little book is the outcome of several years' experience in the teaching of an original course on the History of Discovery. The course has been given to middle forms, and spread over two years' work, with a fortnightly lesson. This has been supplementary to the usual work in History and Geography, and the study of both those subjects has been found to benefit considerably. An aspect of human endeavour and progress that is often only lightly touched upon has received more adequate and connected treatment, with corresponding gain in interest. The course has afforded opportunities for the revision of World History and Geography, from a fresh point of view, but the chief value has been found to lie in the stimulus to wider reading on the part of the pupils. The short list of books appended to this volume illustrates the scope of such reading. It has been difficult to choose, from the great mass of material available, just those stories which are at once representative and important in the general history of exploration, and interesting in themselves. The aim has been to preserve something of a historical outline, though necessarily incomplete, which may prevent the book from becoming merely a series of disconnected biographies, and may serve to illustrate the continuity of human efforts to solve the great problems of exploration.

Excerpt from The World and Its Discovery: A Description of the Continents Outside Europe Based on the Stories of Their Explorers The object of this book is to arouse an interest in stories of discovery and then utilize it in behalf of geography. In so small a compass it has only been possible to deal briefly with a few journeys, but each account can, and in fact should, be supplemented from the original. Farther geographical information should also be added from the text-book in use to which the travel book is intended to give vivid illustration. Stories of exploration, when not so full of incident as to distract from the purpose of class meeting - which is work, not amusement - may be studied in school with advantage for the following reasons: (1) They contain a wealth of geographical information which can easily be memorized, because of the association with a central human figure. (2) They show in many instances, by the contrast between the past and present of a region, the influence of civilized man in modifying natural conditions. (3) They tell of man in the many stages of savagery, barbarism, and civilization. (4) They give the historical details of the spread of world - knowledge. The book is intended for use in lower and middle forms, alongside of the ordinary text-book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Exploration of Australia - through his associations - an Englishman by adoption. He was a distinguished botanist, geologist, and astronomer, and had already shown his capabilities as an explorer, by making a journey overland to Moreton Bay, besides many excursions throughout the districts lying beyond the Darling. He was born in Baskow, near Berlin, and, having made his escape from the three years' compulsory military service, he was con demned as a deserter in contumaciam. His services to science, however, having been represented to the King Of Prussia by Von Humboldt, he was pardoned for the Offence; but his untimely death prevented his availing himself Of his Sovereign's clemency. The command Of the expedition now to be described naturally devolved upon him as being the best man available. The project was formed owing to the following circumstances - Australia's northern coast had been pronounced un inhabitable, settlements on Melville Island and Raifies Bay having.
