Belgium and the Western Front, British and American. Edited by
F. Muirhead. (Macmillan. 15s, net.)—This is the third volume of the "Blue Guides," and like the London and the England, it is excellent. Its main purpose is to serve the traveller in the British war zone, from Flanders to St. Quentin ; it deals also with Belgium beyond the battle-front and with Luxemburg, and with the American war zone on the Meuse. The maps and town plans are very good, and the small sketch maps of battles will be useful. Sir Frederick Maurice contributes a lucid summary of the British campaigns in the West ; there is also an account of the American operations. The principal oper- ations are clearly described in connexion with the places where actions were fought. The military cemeteries are carefully noted in each, instance. Nothing could be better for its purpose than this compact, well-written and well-printed guidebook.
