One and a Half in Norway. By" Either and Both."
(Began Paul, Trench, and Co.)—This curious title is explained early in the book by the statement that husband and wife are allowed to travel on Nor- wegian steamboats and railways, so fax as there are any railways, at a fare of one and a half. A most amusing book has been made by the authors of this little volume out of experiences which have doubt- less been gone through by many travellers before, but which are here described with much freshness. Travellers' fun is often poor stuff, but "Either and Both" do not force their hilarity,—it is easy and natural. When something serious has to be said, it is said as it should be. The character of the Norwegians receives a kindly appreciation. Finally, the travellers of the future receive some timely hints and warnings. On the whole, this is a very pleasant and useful book.
