Lesson 107.-Tuesday Morn. Write and Learn. Geography.

A MAP.

A Map of the World is gen-er-al-ly formed of two large cir-cles.

Each of these two circles is a picture of half the world, as though the
earth was cut through from pole to pole and laid out flat.
The two cir-cu-lar parts are called Hem-i-spheres.
HEMISPHERE means half a sphere or half a globe.

One part is called the Eastern* Hemisphere.
The other is called the Western Hemisphere.

Lesson 117.—Tuesday Morn. Write and Learn. Geography.

THE MAP OF THE WORLD.

The two parts of the Map of the World are called-
The East-ernt and the West-ernt Hemisphere.

*An Act of Parliament, regulating the trade of chimney sweeping, and the apprenticeship of children, and forbidding calling "sweep" in the strects, was passed 1834. In 1840 another Act was passed rendering it unlawful for master sweeps to take apprentices under 16 years old; and no individual under 21 was to go up a chimney after 1st July, 1842. The enforcement of this law was made more stringent in 1864, and many cruelties, to which young persons, employed as chimney sweepers, were often subjected, have been done away with.

Mind the pronunciation, east-urn and west'-ŭrn, not east'-ren and west-ren

LESSON 117-(continued).

The Eastern Hemisphere contains four Continents—
Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.

The Eastern Hemisphere contains about two-thirds of all the land in the world. You will see, by looking at the map, that about half of it is land and the remaining half is water.

The Eastern Hemisphere is often called "The Old World."

Lesson 122.-Tuesday Morn. Write and Learn. Geography. THE MAP OF THE WORLD.

The Western Hemisphere contains one continent-America. America is divided into two parts, North and South America.

The Western Hemisphere is often called "The New World."

A long while ago we knew nothing about the Western Hemisphere, and about America. At last a clever man, called CHRIS'-TO-PHER CO-LUM'-BUS, sailed to it, in the year 1492 (about 400 years since). After that many people went from England, and from other countries, to live there, and now America is one of the most important parts of the world.
