A Manual of the Geography and Natural and Civil History of 

 Prince Edward Island. By the Rev. George Sutherland. 

 Charlotte Town : John Ross. (Pp. 164.) 



This is an exceedingly useful little work, designed for the use of schools, 

 families, and emigrants. The author, a member of the Local Board of 

 Education, has brought the statistics and general information down to the 

 close of last year. Half the book is devoted to civil history, and the general 

 details of progress in the island have been given. The style adopted is 

 concise and sometimes abrupt. The natural history has been well at- 

 tended to.
