Abstract
THIS is a new edition of an atlas by Bartholomew that was first published in 1910. It contains 96 pages of coloured maps, historical and geographical, plates of coins, numerous plans of battles and sketch maps of districts of literary or historical associations, a useful gazetteer, and a full index. The political maps of Europe show the new boundaries; but, except in the case of Switzerland and a few sectional maps of the British Isles, none of the maps has orographical colouring. In fact, relief of the surface is not well shown. Plate 7, which is termed ethnographical, really shows the languages rather than the races of Central Europe. The sketch maps and plans are as in the original edition and do not include any additions arising from the War, The same omission would appear to apply to the gazetteer, but the index has been revised. The technique and colour printing are excellent, and the book is good value at the price.
