Commercial Geography. By E. C. K. Gonner, MA. (Macmillan.) —Professor
Gonner arranges his volume in an instructive and effective way. After an introductory chapter defining his subject, and another in which he deals with "Leading Physical and Political Influences," he proceeds to speak of the conditions which belong to the production of articles of commerce. These products are divided in Part II. as to their nature. The Third Part regards the subject from the geographical point of view, the various countries being taken in order. Under the head of "The United Kingdom," for instance, we hear what we manu- facture, export, and import. We have not seen a manual in which the subject has been more scientifically, and therefore more use- fully, treated.—Another valuable work on the same subject is Elementary Commercial Geography, by Hugh Robert Mill, D.Sc., Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged (Cambridge University Press).
