The first part, containing the game of simple geography, for teaching the names and situations of the different countries and places of the Earth. The second part, containing a concise treatise on the artificial sphere. The third part, containing a geographical game, illustrative of ancient and modern history. Engraved by S. and R. Bentley, printed for John Harris and Son, corner of St. Paul’s Church-yard in London, 1821.
