Modern Atlas - 1831
6/24/24 - This is a beautiful but dangerous school atlas..7/20/23 - An American educational atlas published in 1831, filled with generalizations and cultural biases, by William C. Woodbridge, who was a colleague of Emma Willard. Woodbridge and his father both graduated from Yale and were highly-regarded educators. His father was one of the first preceptors (teachers) at Phillips Exeter Academy. Woodbridge’s ideas about culture, especially that Christian republics were civilized and non-Christians were not civilized, were mainstream for his time.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Channing_Woodbridge The Library of Congress did a terrific Blog Post about this atlas.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Willard
