"In my Geography for Third Class in this series of text books I stated:- " This book has been written for the use of Australian boys and girls. Whilst there has been no attempt to collect a large mass of facts, there has been an effort to select such facts as will be of practical value ; and to present them in a form which will interest and impress." The same remark will apply to this text book. The stories which follow will, I believe, form a good foundation on which a .superstructure of more detailed information may be built up at the option of the teacher." -- author's explanatory note, page [3]
