"The Book of British Topography is of a kind which rejoices the 

 hearts of all persons who have to do with books ; the kind where a writer 

 condescends to take a subject which he knows thoroughly, which is de- 

 finitively manageable, and which, if handled properly, cannot fail to be a 

 useful contribution, if not to literature at any rate to the state of things 

 which make literature possible. . . . The classification is in the 

 main by counties, . . in their turn subdivided under towns, &c., and 

 there is an alphabetical index of all the headings at the end. For con- 

 venience and thoroughness this plan appears to be excellent. Mr. 

 Anderson estimates the number of his entries at something like 14,000." 



Saturday Review. 



" Few bibliographies are adapted to be more practically serviceable to 

 an extensive public than Mr. Anderson's. . . The extreme value of 

 such a compilation to the topographer and antiquary will be apparent at 

 once. . . Contains. . . an immense number of minor publications 

 which the topographical enquirer is little likely to hear of without the 

 aid of such a catalogue as Mr. Anderson's. . . His diligence and 

 accuracy are beyond all praise." Illustrated London News. 



"The work will be of value to the student all the world over. It will 

 enable him to discover the name of every important volume which has 

 been published on the local history of the United Kingdom. . . We 

 can speak with confidence of its completeness and accuracy." 



Notes and Queries. 



" Both in plan and performance it seems to leave little or nothing to 

 be desired." St. James's Gazette. 



" A book of great importance to topographers and archasologists. . . 

 Beautifully printed and got up." Scotsman. 



"This work appears to have been made with much skill and care, and 

 to possess a great interest and value for collectors and librarians in the 

 United States." American Library Journal. 



"Mr. Anderson has done a good work exceedingly well. . . Down 

 to the present time there has been no easy method of learning what 

 there is already in print about any place in Britain. . . By far the 

 best catalogue that has ever been produced." Atkenawn. 



" It is not likely that very much will have to be added to this Cata- 

 logue. . . A solid contribution to bibliography, arranged with 

 admirable method." Journal of the British Archaeological Association.
