We have these now in every school-room, and we are taught to believe that it is to Humboldt that we are indebted for the conception of these tables. But it is not so : Eitter had worthily occupied this field before Humboldt entered it. The work on physical geography which has been mentioned in a preceding page as finished, and as sub- mitted to the judgment of Ebel and some other friends, was never published. Among those whose judgment was solicited was Leopold von Buch, whose opinion was partl...y favourable and partly unfavourable. It was decisive with Eitter, and he determined to withdraw the manuscript from the publisher, and wait till lie 1 brought it to a greater stage of perfection. In fact, as we -have already seen, he was induced to think of bringing it out more in consequence of the urgency of friends than through his own impulse to print. The substance of the book was after incorporated in the 'Erdkunde/ and the world has received it in that form. 116 THE TUTOR A letter to Gutsmuths gives a comprehensive summary of the plan which he adopted in the execution of his first work.
