We have received the second and third volumes of the

Tarr and McMurry Geographies (Macmillan and Co., 4s. 6d. per vol.) The first volume treated of geography in general and the earth as a whole; the second is given to North America ; of the third• ninety pages are given to recapitulation, fifty-five to South America, two hundred and four to Europe (thirty-five being allotted to Great Britain, a proportion somewhat humbling to our pride), sixty-two to Asia—surely Asia has more import- ance in proportion to South America—forty-six to Africa, and twenty to Australasia. And then we have fifty-five pages more given to the United States. It is doubtless all good in its way, but it is obviously not exactly a suitable class-book for this country.
