Consul at Chinkiang). Second edition, giving the original Chinese maps with
their English counterparts. Loudon: Royal Geographical Society, and John
Murray, 1898. Price £1 10s.; to Fellows of the R.G.S., 17s. 6d.
The Chinese edition of this historical atlas appeared in 1887, having been compiled
by the late Mr. E. L. Oxenham, f.r.g.s., from original maps, and the Chinese works of
Chinese scholars. In consequence of representations made to him, Mr. Oxenham de
cided to issue a second edition of this atlas, containing the original Chinese maps with
their English counterparts. His premature death prevented his carrying out his inten
tion, and the Council of the Royal Geogiaphical Society decided to defray the expense
of preparing the atlas in its present form for publication.
