THE 



INTERNATIONAL 

 GEOGRAPHY. 



The last few 3'ears have proved so rich in geographical discov- 

 eries that there has been a pressing need for a res2ime of recent ex- 

 plorations and changes which should present in convenient and 

 accurate form the latest results of geographical work. The addi- 

 tions 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. The want 

 which is indicated will be met by The International Geography, a 

 convenient volume for the intelligent general reader, and the librarj^ 

 which presents expert summaries of the results of geographical sci- 

 ence throughout the world at the present time.

 of The Internatio7ial Geography . The contributors include the lead-
