"A Briefe Introduction to Geography" by William Pemble is a geographical treatise written in the early 17th century. This book serves as an educational guide intended for young students delving into the study of geography, offering a foundational understanding of the Earth’s surfaces, properties, and divisions, along with geographical concepts. Pemble's work combines scholarly insights with practical knowledge about the world, making it significant for its time. The text is structured into chapters that systematically explore essential geographical principles. Pemble categorizes geography into topography and chorography, elaborates on Earth’s spherical nature, and discusses the various properties and divisions of land and water, including oceans, continents, and smaller landforms like islands and peninsulas. He also introduces different circles of the Earth, such as the equator and meridians, emphasizing their significance in mapping and navigation. Through logical reasoning and illustrations, Pemble argues for the Earth’s roundness and immobility while navigating various questions about geographical measurements and climate zones, all aimed at providing a comprehensive introduction to the subject for students.
