BRADSHAW'S RAILWAY GUIDE.
&tnong the many excellences of Bradshaw's Guide,
there is one now introduced into the large Map focal*
panying it which claims particular attention.
The difficulty hitherto experienced in all railway guides
has been to find the particular page in which
the lino wanted is to be found. One might turn over
and over the pages without any benefit, and lose much
precious time in the search. This is now obviated by
the introduction of RED figures on the various lines,
indicating the page where the place wanted may'
be found at a glance. This is excellent. as it point•
