Middle - Class Atlas. By Walter M'Leod, F.R.G.S., F.A.S.L. (Long- man and
Co.).—A small cheap atlas, intended for candidates for the Oxford Local Examinations, and therefore marking very clearly the coast linos, the mountain chains, the river courses, and the boundaries of States. Details the size of the work does not admit of. In the margin the area of each country is given—an excellent innovation, for the difference of scale in the different maps gives most boys quite erroneous- ideas as to the relative size of different countries. The atlas seems to us to attain admirably the ends which its author proposed to himself. The only error we have been able to find even in minutice is that in the map of Germany the green line separating Darmstadt from Baden is so drawn as to enlarge the former at the expense of the latter.
