Russia. By Karl Baedeker. (T. Fisher Unwin. 18s. net.) —This

guide-book for Russia, now issued in England for the first time, is up to the standard long set by the firm of Baedeker—from the average tourist's point of view there could be no higher praise. It covers practically all parts of European Russia which the English traveller is likely to visit, and there is also a section dealing with Teheran, the Trans- Siberian Railway, Port Arthur, and Peking. The informa- tion is corrected up to the present year.—A convenient companion to the guide-book is Baedeker's Manual of the Russian Language (same publisher, Is. 6d. net).
