The British Isles in Pictures. By H. Clive Barnard, M.A.

(A. and C. Black. ls. 6d.)—First we have the physical geography of these islands, coasts, mountains and hills, rivers and brooks, do., with modifications made, as by harbours, locks, he. Fisheries, crops, livestock, he., are then described, and afterwards mines, manu- factures, and finally cities and towns, with examples of conspicuous buildings. Up to p. 59 the volume is occupied with Great Britain. Then Ireland is separately described, and after Ireland come the smaller islands. Everything is copiously illustrated, the pictures numbering fifty-eight, of which nearly all are in colours.
