Round the World in a Motor-Car. By J. J. Mann.

(G. Bell and Sons. 10s. 6d. net.)—The title of this book is rather misleading ; "in" should be " with," as Mr. Mann did much of his journey in steamers, using his car to see the various countries in which he landed—Egypt, India, Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Australia, and New Zealand. "To really enjoy a visit to almost any country," he says, " it is necessary to take one's automobile with one." His experiences may be useful to motorists, but otherwise there is not much in his book beyond the ordinary observations of the globe-trotter.
