Abstract
THE sub title of this handbook gives the clue to the mode of treatment of the subject matter, and so inactivates the critical faculty of anyone who would judge it as a strictly scientific work ; but it may at once be said that the information provided, being accurate and clearly presented, will be most useful to the readers for whom it is intended. The author wisely keeps to facts and ignores opinions, and his assiduity in collecting and fashioning the information over a period of twenty years deserves high commendation.
