The World - Wide Atlas of Modern Geography. With an Intro-
duction by J. Scott Keltie, LL.D. (W. and A. K. Johnston. 7s. 6d.)—This is a "fifth editicn," improved and brought up to date. The geography which it exhibits is both physical and historical; both branches are duly provided for. There is one detail, however, in which some change would be welcome The map of France is not adequate to the interest which English people have in that country. (The same may be said of other regions of Europe.) One page is allotted to it, the same space as is given to Beloochistan and New Guinea. And this page is so crowded that it is far less useful than it might be. Not less than four maps are needed to give an adequate representation of what we want to see.—Philip's London School Board Atlas. Edited by G. Philip, jun. ((P. Philip and Son. Is. net.)—An eminently useful collection, giving ample, and more than ample, value for the price. We are glad to see that the London School Board adopts it ; the child who studies it intelligently can hardly be a "Little Englander."
