Abstract
(1) THE American geography under notice emanates from members of the department of geography in the University of Chicago. British writers of geographical text-books have yet to follow German and American writers in work of this advanced character. The present volume forms, therefore, an interesting study, possessing many virtues and certain faults. The writers have followed general theoretical lines, avoiding those of the ancient “cosmography” with its principle of description according to countries.
