    W »«™~ ference purposes it is beyond all praise . The maps—96 in number—are admirably engraved ,

    and the statistics are full and accurate . We cordiall W— y recommend the , little volume of maps ± ,

    ston globes have , and as wal usual l illustrations a large variety . Me which ssrs . John need

    not be described here . We would , however draw special attention to their new , map of ,

    Africa — , which differs considerably from the old editions because of the fuller knowledge gained

    through recent explorations . Emin Pasha ' s _ Eq ~ j uatorial — Provinces , and also all recent

    -annexations and protectorates of the different European Powers , are clearly denned by

    colour . Mr . Thomas Laurie . —Mr . Lauriewho
