A Handbook for Travellers in Somerset. (J. Murray. 6s.)— Somerset

is now for the first time raised to the dignity of a separate volume in Mr. Murray's series. The many interesting things in this county are well described, and the information ranges from an account of the prehistoric remains in "Mendip's sunless cares" down to railways and cycling roads. There are a number of good maps and plans, but these handbooks are too well known to need more than a short notice.
