Abstract
THIS useful encyclopædia is now nearing completion. The present volume contains a number of new articles, while the others have been thoroughly revised. Several of the articles are of considerable length and give practically all the information about their respective subjects that the reader or student could desire. The free use of illustrations and diagrams adds to the value of the work. All the longer articles have numerous references to literature. There are eight coloured maps by Bartholomew with new boundaries clearly shown.
