ScaooL-BooKs.—The London School Atlas. By H. 0. Arnold- Forster, M.A.

(London School Atlas Company. 3s. 6d.)—The maps are physical and political. Obviously, then, the insertion and omission of details must be determined both by geographical and historical considerations. To use an illustration of the editor, Evesham, which would not have a claim to insertion for what it is, has it as a battlefield. The meaning of a map is expounded ; illustrative examples are given, and the maps them- selves are well executed. The publishers certainly give excellent value for the money.— Selections of German Idioms. Prepared and tranalated by Myra Taker, under the Direction of F. F. Roget.
