Mr. Stanford publishes a map, remarkably clear in its execution,
of Railways and Stations in London and its Environs. It is surprising, or, perhaps, not surprising, when we consider how intricate is the subject, that so few people are acquainted with the system of railway communi- cation in and about London. So vast a sum of money has been spent in producing these facilities for moving about, that it is well for all parties, shareholders and the public, that they should be generally known. With the map there is a guide, made, as far as possible, of permanent value, to the times of the various railways and steamboats. Altogether it is a most useful publication.—We have also to notice, with high praise, Messrs. Bacon and Co.'s Large-Print Maps of various English counties, reduced from the maps of the Ordnance Survey. They are brought up to the present time by having the Parliamentary Divisions of the last Reform Bill marked in them.
