Stanford's Special Map of London Railways and Electric 'Tram- ways

(E. Stanford, Is.) should be most useful. It gives the home region from Ohelsfield, Purley, Epsom, Oashott, on the south : Claygate, Hampton, Hounslow, Watford, on the west ; Elstree, Barnet, Enfield, Loughton, on the north ; and Chigwell, Barking- side, Plumstead, and the Crays, on the east. But the chief value is to be found in the picturing of the actual London railways, &,e. The "tubes" are a science in themselves, hitherto unexplored in its entirety but by a very few. The County Councils might start lecturers on city and suburban locomotion. Meanwhile there is this map.
