Chambers's Encyclopaedia. Vol. I. New Edition. Edited by D. Patrick

and William Geddes. (Chambers. 20s. net.) The familiar and trusty Chambers, which has served several generations of readers, is appearing in a new and very much improved edition of ten volumes. The first volume has evidently been revised with much care, the type and paper are good; and there -are coloured maps as well as the black-and-white illustrations which have always enlivened many of the articles. In its new foim Chambers will be more useful than ever for ready reference.
