Abstract
MESSRS. BLACK issue these illustrations, which measure about six by five inches, as part of their scheme of school geography. Packets i and 2 are concerned with processes of weathering, and the pictures are described by Miss S. M. Nicholls. Their low price allows of the use of several copies in a class, the teacher pointing out the salient features, and the pupil following his remarks with the aid of the abridged description on the plate. The views of granite in the Scilly Isles, of wind- carved rocks in Colorado, and of the interior of a cave at Cheddar, seem particularly happy. The text is clear and to the point, though the two attempts to spell the Snowdon buttress, Crib-y- Didysgl and Cribs-y-Dysgl, will not please Welsh men.
