Photographs from the Queen's Book. Forty-Two Views. By O. W.

Wilson. (Marion and Co.)—An admirable collection of photographs of

Scotch scenery, soft, clear, and well chosen. One of Edinburgh Castle from the Grassmarket is almost perfect, the very greyness of the misty air being represented ; and one of llolyrood, with the craigs behind it, is more like a fine sketch than a photograph. Lochnagar, the Dhu Loch,

and the Falls of Foyers are equally worthy of mention, the last In particular, the artist having succeeded in obtaining a clear view from below without dispelling that impression of blinding mist which the falls always create in the spectator. Perhaps the most striking of all, however, is Loch Tummel, which suggests in the pictare as in reality so clearly what it was, a barred ravine, or the one marked "On the Dochart, at Killin," a wild scene of water, and trees, and rock, and distant moun- tain, all as clear to the eye as if they were present, and given almost in their natural colour.
