A Descriptive, Physical, Industrial, and Historical Geography Of England and
Wales. By Thomas Haughton. (G. Philip and Son.) —.The writer's object is best explained by the first paragraph of his preface :—" This manual follows the lines of the ordinary school-geographies, but, in addition to the usual text-matter of a geography of England and Wales, it gives much fuller details of the physical, industrial, commercial, and topographical features, with notes on the most interesting and historical events connected with various parts of the country." This plan is, judged from what we have been able to examine in the book (which contains more than five hundred closely printed pages), well performed. The historical and literary portions of the work are done with plenty of tact, and form an evidently well-furnished store of knowledge.
