In the series of "Black's Geographical Diagrams and Land Forms"

(A. and C. Black) we have The British Isles, by H. T. Snape, M.A. (1s. 6d.)—The object of the book may be explained by giving examples of the illustrations. We have on p. 37 (1) "Hexham Roman Wall," with various questions, as, "By whom and why we* this wall built? " and (2) "Flamborough Cliffs," with questions about their formation, how it came about, where else it is found, &c. The same publishers send us in their " School History Series " English History Illustrated from Original Sources, by Sarah Melhuish, M.A. Her illustrations are profitably utilised, as for the Battle of Hastings, the Bayeux Tapestry, &c.
