Abstract
(1) MISS NEWBIGIN'S work is always lucid, and she brings the facts of geography into a happy correlation. The continental shelf of North America is thus connected (p. 110) with the accumulation of the Newfoundland Banks, and through them with the codfisheries. The size of Australian sheep-farms (p.147) is explained by the peculiarities of the rainfall. The climate of Cyprus is first discussed (p. 35) on account of its contrast with that of Mongonui in New Zealand. The world-wide view of phenomena is never absent, and a pupil who reads these pages will cease to regard the British Empire as so many isolated red patches on a map.
