Highways and Byways. By Inglis Allen. (A. Constable and Co.

Ss. 6d.)—This is a volume of humorous sketches reprinted from Punch and the Westminster Gazette. Humorous they are in their way, though some of them, we must own, picture scenes too squalid for mirth. And, it must be remembered, they are meant to be read singly, while they are here in a mass.
