Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Life in All Lands To learn all this we must visit them in imagination, travel in fancy around the earth and see its people in their homes or at their occupations, and learn what strange customs they have and how they differ from ourselves. It is to give the young student information upon such matters that this book has been written. The author asks them to go about with him in a series of journeys at home, each journey devoted to one phase of man's doings, such as his food, his clothing, his habitations, and the like. To and fro, back and forth, they will be taken, from America to Europe, from Asia to Africa and the ocean islands, everywhere looking upon men in their homes and observing the many peculiar customs they possess, often very strange and odd to us. This is the way to give life to geography. The study of the map and the text-book needs to be followed by fuller information about the ways of the world and the habits of its people, and this book is offered as an aid to that end. It does not undertake to tell all the story, it deals with only one series of facts, but these are of a kind important in themselves and which help to give geography a liveliness and vitality which it does not usually possess.
