The Public Schools' Atlas of Modern Geography. Edited by the

Rev. G. Butler. (Longmans.)—This volume contains thirty one maps (thirty

of modern geography, and one, a very convenient addition, of ancient Palestine, the Palestine of the New Testament). The maps leave nothing to be desired. They are as clear, as well executed, and generally as serviceable as they could be. The difficulty is to give all that the learner wants to know without impairing the clearness of the map. The de- signer, who contrives to introduce just the right things and in their due proportion, has made a good map. We have not seen this better done than it is by Mr. Butler. The price of the volume, we may add, is very moderate.
