The Unrivalled Atlas. New and enlarged edition. (W. and A.

K. Johnston.)—A good atlas certainly, giving a quite remarkable amount of information for the very low price. The additions con- sist of two classical maps ("Orbis Veteribus Notes," and the Roman Empire,-1, In Trajan's time ; 2, after the division with East and West; 3, after the fall of the West) ; two physical maps (British Isles and Europe) ; and two astronomical (Solar System and the Seasons). But why " unrivalled " ? One defect we must point out. "Eastern" Canada is given in a separate map, but the Western division, which has developed greatly during the last few years, is omitted.
