Ptolemy, Geographia

Italy, ca. 1480 Edition

Claudius Ptolemaeus (Greek: Klaúdios Ptolemaios; after 83 – 161 AD), known in English as Ptolemy, was an ancient mathematician, geographer, astronomer, and astrologer. He lived in Roman Egypt, and was probably born there in a town in the Thebaid called Ptolemais Hermiou; he died in Alexandria in 161 AD. His maps provide valuable clues to the migrations of ancient cultures.

Appleton's 1878
Fourth Reader

or, Why Your Kids Are Dumb...
And Back Then Kids Weren't!

This copy of Appletons' School Readers Fourth Reader was owned by my great-great-aunt Stella Martin. Looking it over should give the inquiring person some idea of why our children, in many places, are now pretty much worthless. The major difference is that morals were taught to children in 1878. Today they are taught situational ethics. In 1878 there were Bible-based absolutes. Today there are not. Also, back in 1878 our children were taught real reasoning skills. Today many of them learn their reasoning skills, such as they are, by counting crack nuggets and ounces of weed. Such a shame. With no proper moral foundation, reasoning skills can only become misdirected and faulty. Do I sound harsh? If you think so, visit your nearest large city and spend some time in the "inner city" area. If you're not from there, you'll soon see what I mean. I'm sure that many people will find this 1878 Fourth Reader to be interesting to view. This, my friends, was part of the "good ol' days!"
