Stanford's Indexed _Atlas of the County of London. With Preface
ly Sir Laurence Gomme. (Edward Stanford. 7s. 6d. net.)—This Atlas contains (1) an index map divided into reference squares, eighty-four in number, and marked with boundary lines of (i) London County, (ii) Boroughs, (iii) Urban Districts ; (2) The eighty-four maps, each occupying half of a quarto page (with boun- daries marked in red, open spaces in green, and water in blue) ; (3) a map of orography and another of surface geology ; (4) an index to all streets, railway stations, hospitals, Soc., containing twelve thousand names. The County of London is the chief region thus described, but the area is largely increased by the inclusion of various adjacent districts not included in the county proper. So we have on the West, Ealing, Brentford, Richmond,
; on the South, Malden, Croydon, Beckenham, Bromley; on the East, Footscray, Bexley, the Hams, and Barking ; and on the North, WalthamstoNv, Tottenham, Hornsey, Hendon, and Kings- bury. Not less than thirty of the eighty-four are wholly or in Part outside the county lines. The scale is four inches to the mile. It is admirably executed and most useful. London geography is a most complicated matter, and this should help to disentangle it.
