Bartholomew's Reference Atlas of Greater London. (Bartholomew & Son. 42s.)

THIS new edition is the completest atlas yet to Greater London. In its 150-odd double- page coloured plates, mostly on a scale of four inches to the mile, 1,100 square miles are covered, including the whole of the Metropolitan Police Area and outlying built-up areas. Central London has addi- tional maps at ten inches to the mile. The four-colour maps, on smooth, substantial paper, are clear and pleasing, and the simply method of Inge continuation scores heavily by comparison with smaller atlases. The 51,000 references in the index include 'fixes' for many courts and streets too small to be shown on the maps. Altogether a 'must' for London references. C. A. S.
