Eigentumsstempel, das Buch ist in einem gutem, gebrauchten Zustand, The "National Geographic Society" has been organized "to increase and diffuse geographic knowledge," and the publication of a Magazine has been determined upon as one means of accomplishing these purposes. It will contain memoirs, essays, notes, correspondence, reviews, etc., relating to Geographic matters. As it is not intended to be simply the organ of the Society, its pages will be open to all persons interested in Geography, in the hope that it may become a Channel of intercommunication, stimulate geographic investigation and prove an acceptable medium for the publication of results. The Magazine is to be edited by the Society. At present it will be issued at irregulär intervals, but as the sources of information are increased the numbers will appear periodically. ...
