Lucas, Charles Prestwood. Historical geography of British colonies, v. 1. *$1.25; v. 2. *$1.90. Oxford.
v. 1. The Mediterranean and Eastern colonies revised and brought up to date by R. E. Stubbs.
“This volume begins with Gibraltar, and travels through the Mediterranean by way of Malta and Cyprus to the Asiatic islands of the Far East.

v. 2. West indies rev. and brought up to date by Chewton Atchley.
“This volume deals not only with the West Indian islands proper, from Jamaica round to Trinidad, but also with the Bermudas, the Bahamas, the mainland colonies of Guiana and Honduras, and even the far distant possessions in the Cape Horn region—the Falkland islands and South Georgia.”—Nature.
