Abstract

(1) MR WALLIS rightly begins his elementary general geography with a note about pictures, plans and maps, and establishes a connection between them so as to show the pupil how certain features appear (for instance) on a photograph and on a map respectively, and how a map is for some purposes a clearer representation than a picture if rightly interpreted. The book generally is on a regional basis, and the usual connection is established between climatic and other phy cal conditions, economic and natural products, and the life of man. The whole is clear and simple, and not overloaded with detail. There are some good maps among the illustrations.
