Round the Globe. Edited by W. C. Procter. (W. Isbister.)—The
idea of this volume is a happy one. Various competent observers describe portions of a route which, in its entirety, comprises a circuit of the world. This circuit is not the ordinary journey round the world, but it is carried all the Way through British dependencies. The Bishop of Rochester describes his recent journey Inge in Eastern Canada, and Lord Lorne the Canadian Pacific Railway. Beginning at the Western end, he traces the route from the Pacific to Winnipeg, and from Winnipeg, again, to Montreal. Miss Gordon Cumming sums up in a few pages her impressions about the Fiji Islands. New Zealand, Australia, India (by Mr. H. W. Lucy), Mauritius (described by the able pen of Lady Barker), South Africa, and, finally, as the last station before reaching home, Gibraltar, are successively described. The volume belongs to the series of " Isbister's Home Library."
