Philip's New Historical Atlas. By Ramsay Muir, M.A. (George Philip

and Son. 9s. or 12s. 6d. net.)—This is a very complete and comprehensive work. It is in four sections. In the first we have maps of Europe and the non-European Mediterranean coasts as these regions were in successive centuries or sections of centuries from the fourth onwards. Section 2 exhibits the growth of the chief European States, as, for example, in 1-6 we have an historical Picturing of France, the first representing the political division as it was in A.D. 987, and the second the growth from Philip Augustus down to the Hundred Years War. Section 3 is devoted to the British Isles, and Section 4 to_the Europeanization of the world.
