Abstract
IN this book the author has attempted with a large measure of success to make a geographical study of agricultural England, devoting his attention to East Anglia and Lincolnshire. The study is comprehensive and thoroughly geographical. In no aspect of the subject does Mr. Bygott lose touch with the effects of location, relief, soil, and climate, and he considers the region in the past as well as the present. The volume rises far above the rank of the ordinary textbook as a serious contribution to the regional geography of the British Isles. There is a little overlapping in places; occasionally condensation would not be amiss; and it might facilitate the use of the book if some of the statistical matter was arranged in tabular form; but these are all minor points, and do not materially detract from a useful volume. The numerous sketch-maps are not the strongest part of the book.
