Where to Live Bound London. Edited by Prescott Row. (Home-

land Association. 1s. net.)—This is the first of two volumes which are to deal with the Southern and Northern sides of

London. The Jxuburbs, and many places, such as Sevenoaks, .Ashtead, kingston-upon-Thames, Camberley (thirty-three miles from London), which cannot be called suburbs, are described. The particulars given include average rents, rates, available re- creations; schools, places of worship, &c. It is, it seems, beyond the power of the compiler to help the reader to make a choice. He cannot say, "This place is distinctly more foggy than that," or make any disparaging comment. And yet these things must be taken into account. One counsel we will venture to give. Let the intending resident travel in the fog season of the year and mark the curious changes of atmosphere that he will encounter.
