The Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom. By Lieutenant. Colonel

T. Pilkington White, R.E. (Blackwood and Son.)—This little volume contains a record of the achievements of a century and more, —achievements which have coat a great deal of labour, and not a little personal endeavour, but which are hardly appreciated as they deserve. Colonel White gives us here a popularised view of the successive stages of the work, a view which can be appreciated by any intelligent reader.
