Excerpt from Geography and Geology of Vermont: With State and County Outline Maps, for the Use of Schools and Families The object of this little work, is to enable the youth of Vermont to acquire a competent knowledge of their own state. Most of the geographies used in our schools embrace so large a field that Vermont comes in for a very small share. The space in them usually allotted to a single state, affords room only for a few general facts, and the consequence is that, while they enable pupils to answer with promptitude, general questions relating to the geography of the world, they assist them very little in obtaining a knowledge of the individual state in which they reside. To supply in part, at least, this deficiency within our own state, and to enable our young people to grow up in a knowledge of our own institutions and of the objects and physical circumstances in the midst of which a kind Providence has placed them, is the design of this book. In the preparation of it, I have availed myself of the materials within my reach. I am well aware that deficiencies and errors will be found in it. But should it be thought worthy of an introduction into our schools, and another edition be demanded, I trust that superintendents and teachers of schools in the different sections of the state, will take sufficient interest in it, to induce them to furnish me with the means of supplying its deficiencies and correcting its errors; and with these improvements, it is my intention that there shall be a corresponding improvement in the mechanical execution of the book. It may be proper perhaps, to say a few words respecting that part of the book which relates to geology. Geology has not hitherto been much studied in our schools; and yet it is, undoubtedly, one of the most useful departments of general geography.
