MANUALS AND TEXT-BOOKS OF GEOGRAPHY.
“I feel strongly the great importance of the subject, not only as a mental discipline and essential part of a liberal education, but as more especially necessary for Englishmen, many of whom will be called upon in after life to turn their geographical knowledge to practical and serious account.”—One of the opinions of Head Master of English Public Schools in the Report of the Royal Geographical Society on Geographical Education, 1885.
MODERN.
THE STUDENT’S MANUAL OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY: Mathematical, Physical, and Descriptive. By Canon W. L. Bevan, M.A. New and Revised Edition. With. 150 Maps and Woodcuts. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d.
“Modern geography has, up to quite a recent date, been almost entirely neglected in many of our large schools, and where professedly taught has, in too many instances, been made the most repulsive instead of the most fascinating of studies. Such books must ever be not less welcome to teacher than to pupil.”—Standard.
A SCHOOL MANUAL OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY. By John Richardson. 400 pp. Post 8vo. 5s.
“After a careful examination, we are bound to say that it is the most comprehensive, accurate, and methodical geography with which we are familiar, and bears on every page unmistakable traces of careful and industrious research. It fully sustains the high reputation of Mr. Murray’s series of Manuals, and we venture to predict for it a wide popularity. Bearing in mind its high character, it is a model of cheapness.”—School Guardian.
A SMALLER MANUAL OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY. By John Richardson. 16mo. 2s. 6d.
“We frankly acknowledge that we have never seen anything of its kind, and for its space, at all approaching to this Smaller Geography.”—English Churchman.
THE STUDENT’S GEOGRAPHY OF BRITISH INDIA. By George Smith, LL.D.
“This book is a marvel of labour and condensation, and its compiler states that he has prepared himself for his task for more than twenty years.”—Spectator.

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. By Mary Somerville. Revised by John Richardson. 548 pp. 9s.
“So far as general physical geography goes, such Manuals as those of ... Mrs. Somerville leave little to be desired.”—Mr. J. S. Keltie’s Report on Geographical Education.
