Famous Houses of Both and District. By J. F. Meehan.

(B. and J. F Meehan, Bath. 10a. 6d. net.)—It would be very ungracious to cavil egaioat the inclusion of such well-known houses as Clevedon Court, Longleat, Foothill, or of interesting relics such as Glastonbury Abbey. Nevertheless, it might have been as well to keep the unity of the subject by abutting out all but stri tly " Bath houses." There is plenty of material within these limits. Among the celebrities who appear in these pages are Marshall Wade (14 Abbey Churchyard), Gaiusborough and William Pitt the Elder (24 and 7 Circus), W. Beckford .20 Lansdown Crescent). Hannah More i76 Pulteney Street), and Beau Nash (St. John's Place). The illustrations are pleniif ul, and good of their kind.
