"This work in France, within a short time, lived to see three editions, not only as a good textbook, but as a lecture on geography fairly popular, full of colorful and accurate characterization of peoples and countries, characterization not at all excluding scientific accuracy, and at the same time taking into account ethnography and the most recent geographical discoveries."
