Abstract
THIS is a quite useful summary of present knowledge of the subject, including a short history of each region, and chapters on its institutions, religion, economic and social structure, and contributions to knowledge. There are a number of small line drawings of typical works of art. The translation is not very happy in places, and there are some odd mistakes.
