Chapter II: Introduction: Summary

That geographical investigation is not inconsistent with
philosophy.—That Homer gives proof of it throughout his
poems.—That they who first wrote on the science have omitted
much, or given disjointed, defective, false, or inconsistent
accounts.—Proofs and demonstrations of the correctness of this
statement, with general heads containing a summary description of
the disposition of the whole habitable earth.—Credit to be
attached to the probabilities and evident proofs that in many
regions the land and sea have been shifted, and exchanged places
with each other.
