One of the best text-books of geography that we have

in English has reached a third edition. This is This World of Ours, by H. 0. Arnold-Forster (Cassell and Co.) " The study of geography," writes the author in his preface, " is one of the most fascinating that can possibly be undertaken, is one which can be followed with pleasure and profit at all times and in all places, which makes travelling a perpetual enjoyment, and staying at home a perpetual opportunity." This is as true as it is happily expressed. Mr. Arnold-Forster's book will at least put the reader in the way of finding it out for himself.—We have also received The Citizen Reader (same author and publishers), which has reached, we see, its two hundred and sixtieth thousand.
