Abstract
THIS work is so well known and so generally appreciated that it is necessary merely to note the appearance of the volume for 1887. The editor has made every effort to bring the statistics up to the latest date, and those who have been in the habit of referring to the book will find that its value has been considerably increased by important additions and modifications. An adequate account of the smaller British colonies has been introduced, and much new information is given with regard to the various systems of land-tenure in India. The leading facts brought out by the new censuses in Germany and France are embodied, and Mr. Keltie has been careful to show the precise results of the recent colonial enterprises of these two countries.
