The Cambridge Modern History Atlas. (Cambridge University Press. 25s. net.)—Although

intended in the first instance to serve as a companion volume to " The Cambridge Modern History," this atlas is at the same time designed to stand by itself as an atlas of modern history. There are 141 maps, the first being of Europe in 1490 and the last of Europe in 1910. The book also contains an in- teresting introduction, by Mr. E. A. Benians, tracing the territorial changes by which the existing political systems of Europe have come into being.
