The Library Cyclopcedia of Geography. By James Bryce, M.A., and

Keith Johnston, F.R.G.S. (Collins, Sons, and Co,)—Thie is a new edition of a work which has taken a good place among books of its class, The original editor did not live to accomplish more than two-thirds of this revision. After his death, it was put into hands in which it was not likely to lose anything of its value,—these of Mr. Keith Johusion, Some other valuable contributions arc added, as from. Dr. Brown, on a subject which ho is thoroughly acquainted with; British Columbia ; from Miss Bird, on Haiwaii, &c. Altogether, this is as compact and useful a " gazetteer " as we have over seen. It is intended as a compauien to the " Comprehensive Atlas," lately sent forth by the same publishers.
