Abstract
THIS encyclopædia is handy in shape and fairly light in weight, and considering the limits of size, it appears to be as complete and authoritative as can be expected. The expert in any branch of knowledge may note the omission of facts which he might think could have been included, but the general reader will find brief summaries on many topics. He will, therefore, find this volume useful, and will be able to continue his studies under the guidance of the bibliography which is appended to the more important articles. The information appears to be accurate and modern, but some of the less informative maps might have been omitted.
