Excerpt from The Simple Jography: Or How to Know the Earth and Why It Spins
It is a Long Jump from Moses, the author of the First work on Geography, to Peter Simple, -
When the acrobatic reader has fetched his breath and looks back at the fearsome list of Geographers he has skipped - Anaximander, Hecatoeus, Demoeritus, Eudoxus, Ephorus, Dicoearchus, Erastothenes, Polybius, Posidonius, James Montieth and Charles F. King, he may well be thankful to find he has fallen upon his feet.
Peter Simple is in our midst. His noble features illumine the front of this book - ; he marks an Epoch, and yet, dear Reader, we must not imagine that the Science of Geography stops short with Peter Simple. Other geographers will come and go; their task is endless.
