Abstract
THIS is a sort of supplement to the “Manuel du Voyageur” by the same author, noticed in these pages at the time of its appearance. The present volume may be described as a collection of constants in all departments of science likely to be of service to the scientific traveller, and indeed to students of many kinds. It contains a series of sections in geography (mathematical, physical, and political), geology, biology, and anthropology. To each section is prefixed a list of works to be consulted on the particular subject, numerous plates and maps, an index, and a table of authors whose works are cited. The whole work seems to us well put together, the information really useful, and, so far as we have tested, trustworthy, though the lists of works are not always so complete as they might be; this can be easily amended in subsequent editions. To all interested in geography in its widest sense, the work must prove of real service.
