Abstract
DR. FOWLER states in his preface that whilst the use and meaning of maps have often been described, no book appears to have been written describing charts, but anyone who can read a map can readily read a chart also, for charts are merely maps of harbours and coast and ocean areas. At any rate, it scarcely appears necessary to describe parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude, or to give a long description in chap. iii. of conventional signs which are graphically depicted on a sheet published by the Admiralty, namely, Sheet X. ii., price 2S.
Charts: Their Use and Meaning.
By Dr. G. Herbert Fowler. Pp. iv + 47 + charts viii. (London: J. D. Potter, 1916.) Price 4s.
