Stanford's Parliamentary Map of the British Isles. (Stanford. 27s. 6d.)—The
drastic redistribution of seats under the new Repre- sentation of the People Act is shown on this valuable new map, on a scale of eleven and a half miles to an inch. London and sixteen of the large boroughs are treated in separate plans on a scale of a mile to three-quarters of an inch. The map is well printed in colours ; the divisions are clearly marked with red lines, and the boroughs are coloured blue. A glance at the London area, Lancashire, or the West Riding shows how thickly the boroughs congregate there. The Parliamentary geography of Sootland has been much simplified, but still includes six of those " districts of burghs " which were the despair of candidates and election agents in the old days. Fortunately the Ayr Burghs no longer include Campbel- town, Inverary, and Oban. The formation pf the Outer Hebrides into a separate constituency of " The Western Isles " was a happy thought, as the Lewis crofter's interests are wholly unlike those of the mainland folk with whom he was yoked for electoral purposes.
