The i'dtior has issued a list of sonic thousands of places that have come into more or less prominence in the war zone, these places being chosen from maps published in "The Tunes Histcry cf the Wiir" in volume form, and, therefore, authentic. At the head of the names, in each country is a brief explanation, with the correct' pronunciation given in brackets after the place. This puzxlc list is worth obtaining if for no other purpose than that of knowing how these various names should be pronounced.
