This nicely produced chart shows the comparative heights of the highest known mountains of the world, and the lengths of the longest rivers of the world. The information used in the diagram is based on similar British publications of the period, but with some information specific to Italy. A few examples are held by institutions on OCLC, all dated 1829 or later.
