Geography is a description of the Earth, its surface, divisions, and inhabitants. The Earth is round, like an orange, being slightly flattened at the two poles, and bulging out a little round the middle. To prove that the Earth is round, although it appears to us to be flat; we know that we can only see the surface of the ground about three miles on a level plain ; and at sea the view, not being interrupted by mountains or any great inequalities in the surface, is bounded on all sides by the horizon. When a vessel appears in sight, the masts are always seen before the hull ; so also, a vessel can sail round the world, and come back to her starting point without changing the direction of her course.
