Abstract

(1) IF the student of geography can be taught to appreciate the value of a work of general reference, strictly arranged on a systematic plan, Mr. Evans' “General Geography” should meet with a demand. But it is not difficult, on the other hand, to imagine the school-child quailing before these serried ranks of facts, figures, and names, baldly presented, thrust forward by means of heavy-faced type, summarised (where there is need) in tables. It is to be hoped that no attempt is made, in these days, to teach geography out of such a book alone; but as a medium for refreshing the memory on essential points before an examination, it should be of great value. To enhance this value, a number of examination questions are given. Another noteworthy feature is that the index is made to serve as a guide to pronunciation, a matter in which students (and, for the matter of that, most other people) are commonly at fault owing to the difficulty of obtaining guidance in it.
