    popularity ^ of Dr ^ . Kiepert ' s * : Geography'in many schools may be accepted as a guarantee that the present volume will be

    welcomed rj and it JT be added that its acceptance in , Germany may is a still further justification of its publication in an . English dress . The

    Greek names of the places mentioned are printed ; in the original , and in this respect , as in the historical referencesevery effort has evidently

    been made to render , the translation as accurate 1 as possible . In the general introduction the author gives what is practically a brief treatise

    on ancient geography , and he then proceeds to deal seriatim with Atia , Africa , and Europe . The notes interspersed throughout the main body of

    the work in smaller type give many interesting historic and topographical details , together with references to the origin of the names given to the

    places in classical works . The volume , which forms one of the publishers' Manuals for Students / far excels any other wort of the same claFS , and

    its convenient form will make it specially valuable to those who wish to keep it by them as a companion to their classical reading .
