 The last few years have proved so rich in geographical discoveries that there has been a pressing need 

 for a risume o{ recent explorations and changes which should present in convenient and accurate form 

 the latest results of geographical work. The additions to our knowledge have not been limited to Africa, 

 Asia, and the arctic regions, but even on our own continent the gold of the Klondike has led to a better 

 knowledge of the region, while within a short time we shall have much more exact geographical in- 

 formation concerning the numerous islands which make up the Philippires. The want which is 

 indicated will be met by "The International Geography," a convenient volume for the intelligent 

 general reader, and the library which presents expert summaries of the n suits of geographical science 

 throughout the world at the present time. The book contains nearly five hund ed illustrations and maps 

 which have been specially prepared. It is designed to present in the compact limits of a single volume 

 an authoritative conspectus of the science of geography and the conditions of the countries at the end of 

 the nineteenth centun,-. 



The Story of Eclipses. 



By G. F. Chamhers, author of "The Story of the Stars." In the Library of Useful 



Stories. Cloth, 40 cents. 

 " The present volume is intended as a sequel to my two former volumes in the Newnes Series of Use- 

 ful Stories, entitled respectively ' The Story of the Solar System ' and ' The Story of the Stars.' It has 

 bei-n written not only jls a necessary complement, so to speak, to those works, but because public atten- 

 tion is already being directed to the forthcoming total eclipse of the sun on May 2.S, igco. This eclipse, 

 though only visible as a partial one in England, will be total no farther off than Portugal and Spain. 

 Considering also that the line of totality will pass across a large tract of countrj^ forming part of the 

 United States, it may be inferred that there will be an enormous number of English-speaking spectators 

 of the phenomenon. It is for these in general that this little book has been written." — Extract from 

 the Author's Pre/ace.
