"If we say of this schoolbook that it comes up to its title, we shall give it perhaps the best praise, and yet it will be no more than it deserves."-The Reader.

This Atlas gives a general view of the principal commercial centres and leading products of the World.

The Maps of the Continents and the British Isles are coloured Geologically and Physically, and the others are coloured Physically.

Special prominence is given to European Products, Industries, Trade Highways, Centres of Population, and Manufactures.

In this Atlas the Editor and Publishers have endeavoured to produce a work that shall be useful both to the man of business and to the student, as representing those geographical facts which are of most importance for commercial purposes. The maps have therefore been prepared so as to bring into view as clearly as possible, either by colouring or by lettering, the commercial advantages and facilities of each country, as well as those general physical facts-as, e.g., of climate and vegetation-that are prominent throughout the world. The colouring of the majority of the maps is arranged so as to show the physical features of the country concerned, as these are of the first importance for commercial development; and the names of the various products are placed in different lettering according as they are of vegetable, animal, or mineral origin. Special attention has also been paid to marking clearly the means of communication, such as railways, canals, and telegraph lines. In a few maps colouring has been used instead of lettering to distinguish regions where certain products are predominant; and where the distribution of population is of special interest, this has likewise been shown by colour. A series of geological maps has been inserted in this Atlas, with some explanatory remarks on "Commercial Geology;" and these call attention to a most useful branch of study which hitherto, we believe, has been omitted by other textbooks and atlases. In providing the letterpress to the maps, the object has been not to give a complete manual of commercial geography (which, of course, in these limits would be impossible), but to point out the salient features relating to commercial development in each country; and it is hoped that both letterpress and maps will be found useful in promoting the study of what is in these days a most essential branch of general knowledge.

REVIEW.

"The necessity of maps to illustrate history is universally admitted, yet historical Atlases are rare in this country. This renders the present one, containing beautifully executed maps, all the more welcome, when we consider the moderate cost."-The Athenæum.
