_Topography._--Mr. J.P. Anderson's Book of British
Topography (1881) is an indispensable book. Mr. Robert

contributed a paper on "Special Collections of Local Books
in Provincial Libraries" to the Transactions of the First
Annual Meeting of the Library Association, 1878 (pp. 44-50).
Another paper on the same subject, by Mr. J.H. Nodal,
appears in the Transactions of the Second Annual Meeting of
the Library Association, 1879 (pp. 54-60), entitled "Special
Collections of Books in Lancashire and Cheshire," and in the
Appendix (pp. 139-148) is a full account of these
collections in Public Libraries and private hands.
