Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Claudius Ptolemy and the Nile: Or an Inquiry Into That Geographer's Real Merits and Speculative Errors His Knowledge of Eastern Africa and the Authenticity of the Mountains of the Moon Until ancient geography shall have undergone a through reformation, such as Niebuhr effected in Roman History, and be reconstructed on grounds strictly rational and authentic, it will not possess the precision and solidity of which it is capable, and without which it must ever remain a barren spot in the field of knowledge. It is in the earliest ages that the geographical element of history has most importance. Man then depends more on nature than on events. Allusions to trade and intercourse, handed down from ancient times, reveal the necessary steps of advancing civilization. They are intrinsically more definite and certain; point more plainly to cause and effect; and deal less with casualty than the records of war and conquest. But they are too essentially real to bear corruption. The narrative of events may not be the less captivating, or lees generally accepted, because it has been moulded into a romance. In the description of the transitory scenes of life, we may be, and often are, satisfied with verisimilitude; but in every reference to permanent nature we must have the truth, and geographical statements deficient in recognizable truth, soon become unintelligible, and consequently worthless.

Excerpt: ... supplies from the river Webbe which flows behind the hills, nearly parallel to the sea shore and at no great distance from it. This bare and steep shore continues to the Govind or river of Jubah, a few miles S. of the equator. Then follows, 4thly, a line of coast somewhat resembling the preceding, but of more recent, or less advanced, formation. The hills or downs are less elevated and nearer to the sea, while a reef of coral with a chain of small islands, lies at a distance of two or three miles from the land, bounding a narrow channel, so shallow and beset with rocks, as to be in some places, hardly navigable even for boats. This coral chain extends about 150 miles, but with an interruption for some distance in the middle, where the growth of the coral has been checked by the fresh water of two or three streams from the mainland. Kuyu bay, where the coral reef terminates, is the first of several inlets imperfectly known, which appear to communicate with a large river in the back ground and in front of which lie the Islands of Pata, Lamu, Manda, &c. Here begins, 5thly, a new region with a new race of men: the fertility and populousness of Zingiber, here rise into view. A little farther S. towards Mombasa the coast becomes more elevated and varied in feature, and is at the same time covered with superb trees, scattered as in a park. This improved scenery might serve to mark a sixth region; but those already mentioned are plainly discernible in Ptolemy and the Periplus, and are clearly pointed out by the Arabs at the present day. The effectual comparison of our authors will be much facilitated by exhibiting their statements in detail side by side. Ptolemy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ptolemy's Geography is the only book on cartography to have survived from the classical period and one of the most influential scientific works of all time. Written in the second century AD, for more than fifteen centuries it was the most detailed topography of Europe and Asia available and the best reference on how to gather data and draw maps. Ptolemy championed the use of astronomical observation and applied mathematics in determining geographical locations. But more importantly, he introduced the practice of writing down coordinates of latitude and longitude for every feature drawn on a world map, so that someone else possessing only the text of the Geography could reproduce Ptolemy's map at any time, in whole or in part, at any scale. Here Berggren and Jones render an exemplary translation of the Geography and provide a thorough introduction, which treats the historical and technical background of Ptolemy's work, the contents of the Geography, and the later history of the work.
