IN the introductory and junior readers belonging to this series, already noticed in these columns, the young pupil is provided with simple explanations of the general principles underlying the study of geography; the present volume deals specifically with the physical and political geography of the United Kingdom in fifty-six short lessons, the subject-matter of which is varied and discursive, ranging from an account of the prehistoric inhabitants of Britain to a description of Irish scenery. The lessons are written in an interesting, conversational style, and are accompanied by an abundance of instructive illustrations, including sixteen coloured plates.
