Motor Ways in Lakeland. By George D. Abraham (Methuen and

Co. 7s. 6d. net.)—The well-known climber has turned aside for a moment to the less strenuous occupa- tion of motoring. His intimate acquaintance with the Lake district makes him a most valuable guide, and motorists will be able with his help to get into far more intimate relations with the country than they could with the ordinary road-book. ---Odd Corners in English Lakeland. By William T. Palmer. (Skeffington and Son. 2s. 6d. net.)—This is designed for the common pedestrian, and neither for the climber nor the motorist. The less-known parts of the district are parti- cularly described. It seems a pity that the book should have no index.
