Abstract
(1) THIS book has been written for classes preparing for preliminary or junior local examinations of the universities; it begins by considering latitude and longitude, and the climate of Britain is not considered until the last chapter; all this means that a good deal of previous reading and learning is presupposed. There is a large amount of information, much of it interesting and “curious,” and it is markedly accurate; but the comparison of particulars and progression in idea which might be expected in a volume of a “First Book of Science” series are largely absent.
