Abstract
A STUDE of the geography of Canada was much needed by students, who have little access to any objective consideration of that country. Prof. Griffith Taylor has supplied this want in great measure. The book is based on extensive travels in many parts of Canada and also in Newfoundland, which is included in the volume. Part 1 treats of the position, discovery and general physical features, including climate ; part 2 considers the Dominion by natural regions ; part 3 is a study of environments as related to man—a careful consideration of occupations and population problems. The whole is illustrated by a wide range of sketch maps and diagrams, many of which show great ingenuity.
