_The attention of teachers is invited to the following features of this
Map:_
1. It emphasizes the vital connection (too often neglected) between
History and Geography.
2. It leads the student through “the eye gate” into the fair fields
of English History.
3. It gives a local habitation to his often vague ideas of time and
place.
