Atlas of the Chinese Empire. (Prepared by Mr. E. Stanford

for the China Inland Mission. 108. 641. net.)—In this volume there are, besides the key map, eighteen maps of provinces, a circuit being followed from Kwantung in the South-East to its westerly neighbour Kwangsi. Four additional maps follow, of Sinkiang, Manchuria, Tibet, and Mongolia. This is a very valuable addition to our knowledge of Eastern geography, an incidental advantage, by the way, that we get from the work of missions. We can know more about China than we do of France, which still in the ordinary atlas is represented by a single map.
