Abstract
“THIS book—the fourth of a series of five—deals with the geography of the New World. As in the previous volumes, the treatment of the subject is on logical and modern lines, and the book will be found to contain the kind of information that candidates preparing for fairly advanced examinations in geography are now expected to acquire.” Instances of the absence of modernity in the treatment are striking; for example, the rain of California is attributed to the north-east trades, without mention of its characteristic winter maximum, and in disregard of Buchan's maps on wind directions.
