Speech delivered at Keane. The Evolution of Geography. A sketch of the Rise and Progress of Geographical Knowledge from the earliest times to the first Circumnavigation of the Globe. By John Keane. London: E. Stanford, 1899. Size 84 × 6, pp. xvi. and 160. Maps, Portraits, and Illustrations. Price 68. Presented by the Publisher. The aim of this book is to trace the development of geographical ideas and knowledge from their infancy. The knowledge of the early Egyptians, Hebrews, and Greeks is disposed of in a chapter of about thirty pages. Other short chapters summarize the advances in the early Christian ages, under the Crusading impulse, and a chapter each is given to Columbus and Magellan. There the history stops. Two general chapters deal with early maps and with instruments. It affords a summary of the growth of geographical knowledge suited for those for whom the works of Tozer and Vivien St. Martin, not to speak of Bunbury, are too long. Historical-Strabo's Theories.
