Abstract
THIS small and handy atlas will be found of use in the higher forms of schools, for the modern specialising sixth form boy who is going to add to the number of open scholarships which his school can advertise to the world, more especially. Nor will the aspirant after a “first in modern history” find Dr. Reich's book of small use to him by any means. It contains many points that will not be found elsewhere; for instance, the historical summaries facing the maps in most cases will prove very handy. The maps themselves are good and are up-to-date; the latest partition of Africa is given, and the Transvaal and Orange Colony are as red as Natal. We may, perhaps, object to Egypt being described in brackets as “(Turkish)” on map 48; if it is not British, it is Egyptian; the shadowy and hardly even nominal overlordship of Turkey is hardly worth commemoration any longer. Also, there are not enough maps; what there are are so good that we should like more.
