The British Imperial Atlas. (Letts, Son, and Co.)—Many of the

features of this handy atlas are original. For instance, it contains comparative enset maps to various countries, on the same scale as the other maps ; comparative tables of area, population, trade, &c. ; the depths of the ocean on the various coasts are given ; also the course of telegraph cables, railways, chief roads, Icc. It is clearly printed, and the colour references are copious and distinct.

The London Topographical Society sends us three sheets of View of London (about 1550), reproduced from the original drawing by Antony van den Wyngaerde, preserved in the Bodleian Library,, Oxford.
