We have noticed earlier numbers of Geographical Pictures (A. and
C. Black), and may now mention Series XI. in two packets (6d. each). These are " Lakes," exhibiting varieties of formation, as volcanic and alluvial basins, and differences of barriers, &c. All are taken from photographs.—With these may be noticed The Child's World of Pictures (same publishers, is. 6d.), Highland cottages, Irish huts, woods at different seasons, jungles, wild beasts, &e., each picture having an explanatory letterpress ; also The Scholar's Book of Travel, in two parts, "The British Isles " (1), " Europe " (2) (G. Philip and Son, ls. 3d. each), giving descriptions of important spots with appropriate letter- press.
