This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diamond Atlas With Descriptions of Countries Incognita (unknown land), have been driven back; whether by the knightly Crusader, the daring avarice of the lewlo Freebooter, or the more lofty promptings of a laudable ambition, until they only hover over a narrow circumference, around the inhospitable poles, where Science alone can hope to reap a harvest, and even there, she is pointing her adventurous prows, with a determination that seems likely to wrest from them their last secret; and complete the sum of Geographical knowledge. It is by comparing the Maps of Ptolemy, and Eratosthenes, or even those of 1492 and 1520, with the modern ones, that illustrate the present work, that something like a definite idea can be formed, of the achievements of Geographical knowledge, in the last few Centuries. There, a little section of the sphere is vaguely shown, its islands, shores, and rivers, remarkable only for their incorrectncss - and yet, when their date is considered, meritorious for their truthful approximations. Here, vast Conti nents are brought to light, their shores carefully triangulated, and their rivers tracked to their almost springs. There, a few frail, and cumbersome barks groped their way along uncharted shores. Here, the Rivers of the Seas are marked out, and the paths of the winds determined; and the stately steam ship of' to-day pursues its course over the trackless bosom of every ocean, with no less certainty. As to its position, and course, than the steamboat on our rivers. Not content with a superficial investigation, Geology has mined into the bowels of the Earth, and read from the stony pages of its history, the records of its past duration. By the aid of compartivo Anatomy, the monsters of the Primitive World are clothed again with flesh, and the massive bone that defied the destructiveness of ages, is made to tell the History and character of its race.

Excerpt: ...The tributary streams of the Tiber are--on the left, the Allia and the Teverone; and on the right, the Cremera. Divisions.--Upper Italy contains those districts which were not reckoned among the Italian states by the Romans until the time of Caesar and Augustus: 1, Liguria; 2, (.allia Cisalpina, or Togata; 3, the country of the Veneti, with that of the Carni and Istri. Central Italy contains--On the western side, Etruria, Latium, and Campania; on the eastern side, Umbria, Picenum, and Samnium. Lower Italy--On the western side, Lucauia and Bruttium; on the eastern side, Apulia and Calabria. The Islands are--Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and some smaller ones. Ancient Inhabitants.--The Pelasgi inhabited not only the entire western coast from the Arnus to the southernmost point of Italy (where the northern portion of them were called Tyrrheni, and the southern (Enotrii). but also parts of the eastern coast; the Veneti in the north, and the Daunii and Peucetii in the south, belonging probably to the Pclasgian race. The Opici, fsci, and Ausones, inhabited the western branch of the Apeunine chain. To this race belonged the JEqui and Volsci, in Latium the Casci (or Prisci), who dwelt at first round the Lake Fucinus, and at a later period were driven out by the Sabines, and migrated to Latium, and probably the Apuli (westward of the Garganus), who subdued the Pelasgian Daunii. The Sabelli were an onset of the ancient Sabini, whose original seatwas among the highest mountains of the Abruzzi about Amiternum, whenc: ' the superfluous population migrated in various directions--the Picentes to Picenum, the Hernici to Latium, the Samnites to Campania, and the Lucani to Lucania. In the ancient scats there remained the Marsi, religni, Vessini, and Maru cini, ...
