Abstract
IN the review of my book (“Dawn of Modern Geography,” vol. ii.) which appeared in NATURE, November 27, 1902, it is stated (p. 75), by way of repetition from NATURE's review of vol. i. of the same work, that the “revision of the whole of chapter vi. of vol. i., on geographical theory, together with Mr. Beazley's account of the history and use of mediaeval maps for the whole book,” was “due to Mr. C. H. Coote, of the Map Department of the British Museum.” When this unfounded assertion was first made, I wrote (with the entire concurrence of Mr. Coote) and pointed out to the reviewer that he was mistaken. As the misleading statement now reappears, I may say that Mr. Coote never saw a line of the “Dawn of Modern Geography,” vol. i.—nor had I any consultation with him on;any point therein—until after the last corrections of proof liad been made, and the sheets finallv returned for press.
