The Guide to Nice, Historical, Descriptive, and Hygienic. By James

Nash, A.C.P. (Kerby and Endean.) —The "guide" proper is limited to forty pages, out of a total of one hundred and eighty-eight; and it is. certainly defective in some respects. Mr. Nash gives a list of hotels, but he limits his recommendations to some cautious praise of one. As an habitual resident he could hardly do more. But he might have added some of the tariffs. lathe matter of "Professors he is more discriminating. "Their name is Legion,' but the num- ber of good ones is comparatively small. The masters of the Lytle)) and the Anglo-American College are usually available for private

instruction," and Mr. Nash is Principal of the latter institution. The brief " Hygienic " guide by Dr. J. Meyhoffer is good. He gives an

outline of the conditions of health for which the climate of Nice is,

and is not, salutary.—We may mention together with this A Hand- book for Travellers in Central and Northern Japan, by Ernest Mason Laton and Lieutenant A. G. S. Hawes (J. Murray), of which we have a second edition, revised, considerably enlarged, and brought down to date, before us.
