.A Lonely Summer in Kashmir. By Margaret Cotter Morison' (Duckworth
and Co. '7s. 6d. net.)—Miss Morison spent some weeks in solitary journeys in Kashmir, starting from Srinagar, and coming back to it, after many wanderings among valleys, plains, and mountains, not ill content. It is a pleasant story of travel that Miss Morison has to tell us. It was lonely, it is true ; the Kashmir women much marvelled at this, and asked so persistently for the "Sahib" that they had to be told that the "Sahib was coming"; but it had many delights, though not without hardships. And the loneliness was mitigated by the company of 'Jones,' the bulldog, an animal who should rank high among literary dogs. Miss Morison was robbed in the course of her tour of money and jewellery, and the incident gives occasion for some curious revelations about police methods in India.
