“I would advise =Sunday-school teachers= to use, in connection with the lessons of 1897, =Klemm’s Relief Map of the Roman Empire=.  Every scholar who can draw should have a copy of it.  Being blank, it can be beautifully colored:  waters, blue; mountains, brown; valleys, green; deserts, yellow; cities marked with pin-holes; and the journeys of Paul can be traced upon it.”—­MRS. WILBUR F. CRAFTS, President International Union of Primary Sabbath-School Teachers of the United States.

=DESCRIPTION OF THE MAPS.=

These maps are made in two forms, both with beautifully executed relief (embossed)—­the cheaper ones of plain stiff paper similar to drawing paper (these are to be substituted for and used as outline map blanks), the others covered with a durable waterproof surface, that can be quickly cleaned with a damp sponge, adapted to receive a succession of markings and cleansings.  Oceans, lakes, and rivers, as well as land, appear in the same color, white, so as to facilitate the use of the map as a =_geographical slate_=.

Several years ago a modest little volume called “The Evolution of an Empire” set forth, with a lucidity that was as remarkable as its brevity, the beginnings and growth of Germany; its author, Mary Platt Parmele, has since followed the same methods in treating France and England, and now brings out a fourth volume in the noteworthy series, a somewhat larger book, called in full, “The Evolution of an Empire:  A Brief Historical Sketch of the United States,” published, as were the others, by William Beverley Harison (New York).  In an interesting preface Mrs. Parmele boldly explains her chief intention, which is to disclose, in so vivid a light that he who runs may read, the fundamental causes and their resulting
