Wooings and Weddings in Many Climes. By Louise Jordan Miln.

(C. Arthur Pearson. 16s.)—Mrs. Miln takes us East and West, North and South, and shows us the ceremonies that go to make up the ritual of marriage. We remember a pleasant book of hers, first published, if we remember right, in aerial form, wherein the children and child-life of many lands were described. This volume is just such another. No reasonable person can object if now and then she moralises and sentimentalises a little. The subject offers an irresistible temptation. But there is plenty of interesting matter in the book, and much of it, we take it, has been collected on the spot. The volume is handsomely illus. Crated.
