The Earth and Its Inhabitants; Europe, Vol. 4 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from The Earth and Its Inhabitants; Europe, Vol. 4: The British Isles The contours of Great Britain are at once symmetrical and bold. In its general structure that island strikingly resembles the peninsula of Scandinavia. Like the latter, it stretches from north to south in the direction of the meridians, its plateaux and mountains rise near the west coast, and its principal rivers ow to the eastward. Ireland, though it too has fine contours, is far more massive in its configuration than the sister island. Its mountains form the nuclei of distinct provinces, whose inhabitants made war upon each other; but on the whole its features exhibit greater geographical unity than those of the larger island.
