A Spring Fortnight in France. By Josephine Tozier. (T. Werner

Laurie. 10s. 6d. net.)—Angela Victoria, who starts on her tour in chap. 1; nolentibus vnkis, contrived in her fort- night to see a good deal, enough, it is manifest, to furnish materials for a considerable book. But then she did something more than find picturesque scenes, landscapes, Cathedrals, and so forth. She found a lover. We are not quite sure, therefore, whether to call this a book of travel or a novel. It is the latest fashion to combine the two, and not a bad fashion either if it results in as readable a volume as the Spring Fortnight. One has a very large choice of things in which to be interested, and there are some pretty illustrations.
