Abstract

WE have never seen a class-book of geography more profusely and admirably illustrated than the one under review. Our only regret is that the book, being written for schools in the United States, possesses the eccentric or reformed orthography that obtains there. This, in conjunction with the fact that the British Isles are dismissed in less than a page of text, renders the volume unsuitable for use in our schools. We hasten to remark, however; that the author has not merely concerned himself with the interests of the United States, as a brief statement of the various sections in his work will show.

Primary Geography.

By A. E. Frye. Pp. 128. (Boston U.S.A.: Ginn and Co., 1894.)
