_A New Volume. Just out._

STUDENTS’ MODERN EUROPE. FROM THE FALL OF CONSTANTINOPLE TO
THE TREATY OF BERLIN. By R. LODGE, M.A.

“Let it be said once and for all that the design and arrangement
are excellent. The work makes no slight demands upon the
author’s capacity for clear and sensible exposition. To such
demands Mr. Lodge has proved himself fully equal, while it is
not difficult to discover, scattered throughout the book, traces
of higher qualities.”--_Saturday Review._

“Mr. Lodge is to be congratulated on the excellence of his
arrangement and on the discretion he has shown, both as regards
the things he omits and those he insists on. While his pages
abound in facts, he has not been content to give a mere crowded
summary of events, he presents us with many sound and thoughtful
remarks on the tendencies of each of his periods. His grasp
is firm, and he never loses his way amidst a multitude of
details.”--_Journal of Education._

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._

A SMALLER MANUAL OF ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY. With Thirty Woodcuts. 240
pp. 16mo. 3s. 6d.

“A valuable addition to our geographical works. It contains the newest and most reliable information derived from the researches of modern travellers. No better text-book can be placed in the hands of scholars.”--_Journal of Education._

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_.

JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET, LONDON.
