Stanford's Handy Atlas of Modern Geography (E. Stanford) con- tains

thirty excellent maps. It is convenient in form, being scarcely larger than a large octavo, but giving space for fair-sized maps by allowing to each a double page. — Th,acker's Revised Survey Map of India, by J. G. Bartholomew (Thacker and Spink, Calcutta), gives a reduction of the ordnance map of India to the scale of 69 miles to an inch. Even then it is of a very considerable size, covering fully six square feet. The index contains ten thousand names. A map of England on the same scale (a degree to an inch) would be thought too small for use.
