It is quite impossible to notice all the educational books
which come to us, but we must say a few words about a volume in the series of "Black's 3cAlo,?1 Geography (A. and C. Black). This is Climatic Control, by L. C. W. Bonacina. Everything that makes a subject of study real to the learner is useful, and of all subjects of this class climate should appeal to the British schoolboy. The climate which he has the privilege—for such it is, though it does not always seem so—of experiencing is the most remarkable in the world. Mr. Bonacina describes the world-climates and then treats of this factor of life as it acts on man. With this may be men- tioned a very elaborate study in geography entitled The Highlands of South-West Surrey, by E. G. Matthews. All the particulars of the district—the geological formation, the distribution of water, the soil, the flora with typical trees, and the modifications effected by human agency—are described, with seven very complete maps by way of illustration.
