Abstract
THE authors have taken pains to collect and arrange their material for this geography of Wales, the first of its kind to be published. They have interpreted their subject liberally and succeeded in producing a full and accurate volume, which has the further advantage of being interesting and readable. Several of the chapters, such as those on coal and non-ferrous metals, take a wide survey of the whole subject, and might well be read by those to whom the details of Welsh geography are of minor importance. A further advantage of the book is that the historical side of industrial activity is kept well in view, so that a very clear picture is gained of the evolution of Welsh industries and towns. Statistical matter is freely used, and there are even appendices giving the trade terms used in the coal and other industries. The index is full, but might be revised in a later edition.
