Abstract
(1) IN the “Geography of the British Isles,” Dr. Davies introduces each section by a number of exercises with maps and statistics, so that pupils may have inferences of their own gleaning to help them to appreciate the descriptive portions of the book. This is an interesting experiment, and is carried out with considerable success, though chances are missed in the descriptive paragraphs which might have been used to teach rather more by appeal to the imagination. In that way, too, the work would have been made more valuable as a book for the pupils themselves to handle.
