Abstract
THE characteristics of the series of elementary books of geography to which the new volumes under notice belong have been described already in these columns (vol. Ixxxii., p. 125). In the three new parts of Mrs. Herbertson's “Elementary Geography,” it is satisfactory to find the same simplicity of language, correctness of information, and abundance of well-chosen illustrations which served to make the earlier volumes admirably adapted to the requirements of junior classes.
