PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

The season that had lost its way has found it at last. Summer is yeomen in, and tourists' books come with it Mr. Walter White, liberally interpreting the Shropshire proverb, ALL ROUND THE Wnexi2r, narrates under that title the incidents of a tour of wide range round the famous hill, entering Leicestershire in one direction, and Herefordshire in the other.

Mr. Weld, another well-known bird of summer, as regular in his migrations as the swallow, tells his tale of Two MONTHS IN THE HIGH- LANDS, ORCADIA, AND SKYE.

All holiday tourists are health seekers, but their needs are various ; some go on in quest of means to keep health, not to recover it ; the wants of others are just the reverse. For the guidance of both these classes, Dr. Spencer Thomson has written his HEALTH RESORTS OF BRITAIN ; AND HOW TO PROM BY THEM.

A new GUIDE TO THE ISLE OF Wioirr, not will together with scissors and paste, but ably and carefully composed, will be hailed as a welcome acquisition by a large section of our summer vagrants. It contains full and accurate information on every topic that can interest them as visitors to the island, and is accompanied by a large tourist's map, executed with all the fidelity and copiousness of detail which character- ize Mr. Stanford's publications.

THE &acmes or THE Airs, by Professor Tyndall, of the Royal Institution, is a beautiful book, of great literary and scientific interest. It is divided into two parts; the first, chiefly narrative, presents a striking picture of the life of an Alpine explorer, and of the means by which his knowledge is acquired ; in the second part that knowledge is classified, and the theory of the subject is expounded in a popular manner.

Mr. Cyrus Redding, whose " History and Description of Modern Wines" has maintained its high repute for nearly thirty years, has just published an elaborate monograph on FRENCH WINES AND VINEYARDS; AND THE WAY TO FIND Taral.

Mr. Dunlop, of Meerut celebrity, has written a capital book on HUNT- ING IN THE HIMALAYA, with digressions on a variety of topics incidental to hill travel. He would fain induce English sportsmen to attempt en- terprises more worthy of their energies than deer-stalking and bird- shooting in Scotland, and believes that so many of them would not spend time, trouble, and money on those pursuits, if they were aware of the facilities for reaching the Himalaya, and obtaining an almost endless assortment of game there.
