Book Description
Excerpt from Geography Through the Stereoscope: Teacher's Manual The means that have so far been brought within the reach of pupils in the study of geography have certainly been imperfect. Home geogra phy, it is true, can be studied at first hand through knowledge gained by means of school excursions, and in the Ordinary course of the pupil's life. But, in the study of the great world beyond the home surroundings, pupils have been de pendent upon word-descriptions, upon maps, and to an increasing extent in recent years, upon pictures.

Excerpt from Geography Through the Stereoscope The study for each of these sub-heads is based upon a supply of 12 stereographed scenes (the equipment as pointed out above for a section of 24 pupils during one class period). This unit or group of 12 stereographed scenes is made up in a certain number of different ways. One stereographed scene-12 duplicates. Two different stereographed scenes-6 duplicates each. Three different stereographed scenes-4 duplicates each. Four different stereographed scenes-3 duplicates each. Six different stereographed scenes-2 duplicates each. There are also several irregular groups: Two different stereographed scenes, 8 duplicates of one and 4 duplicates of the other. Three different stereographed scenes, 8 duplicates of one and 2 each of the others, etc. The reason for making up this unit of 12 stereographs in these different ways is the varying richness of the scenes. Some stereographs contain such an abundance of geographical facts that not even an entire study period is sufficient to exhaust them. As will soon appear, the intervals between exchanges of stereographs during a class period will vary somewhat according to the number of the different stereographs included in these groups of 12.

Book Description
Excerpt from Italy Through the Stereoscope: Journeys in and About Italian Cities First, the one hundred stereoscopic photographs, by means of which we are enabled to stand in one hundred of the more important places in Italy. These standpoints are so chosen that, taking them together, it is made possible for us to gain a clear knowledge of each city visited as a whole and a near acquaintance with the buildings and objects of special interest. Second, the patent maps, general and sectional, which are found in a booklet inserted in a pocket in the back cover. By means of these maps, both the point of view and the extent of vision in each stereograph is definitely shown, so that the relation of each stereographed scene to every other one and to the whole city can be seen almost at a glance. I cannot emphasize too strongly the im portance of getting a distinct experience of location in each of the different places in Italy by the help of these maps. In my judgment this map system is the most im portant invention that has ever been made to aid in the use of photographic illustration.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Stereograph and the Stereoscope: With Special Maps and Books Forming a Travel System; What They Mean for Individual Development, What They Promise for the Spread of Civilization There is a boundless field of discovery still open to those who investigate the laws which govern the development of our nature. When we look at the high degrees Of excellence which that nature so often attains under favorable conditions for the growth and exercise of its better powers, and when we contrast this with its stunted and distorted growth as exhibited among large portions Of mankind, it becomes a question of deep and endless interest to know how far these conditions are subject to the control of will through the use of means.

Book Description
Excerpt from The World in the Stereoscope: A Series of Sketches, Original and Selected The accumulation of objects which lie within such a plan as this is immense, and the task of selecting has been proportionately difficult. A vast multitude of interesting objects must be left unmentioned. It would be comparatively easy to add an explanatory catalogue to the illustra tions, or to gather into a volume a large number of geographical and historical facts connected in a mere general way with these particular views. But it was thought essential that such a manual should actually describe scenes and places shown in the views. A book consisting of a mere aggregation of names and facts geographically arranged would, in fact, not explain any illustrations at all. On the other hand, a mere catalogue of the views, numbered and described in detail, could not be used practically inthe school-room. The present series of sketches, independent of one another, written or selected to explain the views, embracing a large amount of geographical and historical information, yet possessed of independent interest, and arranged for use as a separate study, or in the reading classes, seemed to meet all the requirements of the case. To give variety to the descriptions, and especially to the exercises, when the volume is used in the reading classes, a large num ber of poetical selections, descriptive generally of the same scenes, have been introduced in the appropriate connections.

Book Description
Excerpt from Traveling in the Holy Land Through the Stereoscope It is the recognition of these two great facts that has determined the nature of this book. If stereographs are life-size spaces of three dimensions to the eyes, they Should be recognized as such and used as such. And if they may be to a greater or less degree, according as we use them, the realities to us, then they should be treated so as to make them realities as far as possible. And it seems the more we treat them as places, as Palestine itself, the more they become the same to us. Accordingly in the following pages are given such maps and information as will make this small volume serve the purpose of a guide-book, and at the same time, as I said at the beginning, I have tried to serve in it as a personal guide, saying everything in such a way as to constantly help and lead us to make this tour, to visit these stereographed scenes, as a tourist visits the actual scenes in Palestine. It will be found that on this stereoscopic tour one is carried to all the more important places in Palestine, and in the same order that a tourist might visit them; and in the more important sections the stereographed scenes are so connected that you may move from one position to another in such a way as to really make it a continuous journey. I urge upon all who have not actually visited Palestine, to give the closest attention to the maps and the descriptions, with the purpose of always keeping their bearings as they move from one place to another. Finally, we have Space for only a word on the impor tance of the land of Palestine, why we need to know it intimately, why we should stand in the very presence of its hills and valleys.
