Some Further Recollections of a Happy Life. Edited by Mrs.

John Addington Symonds. (Macmillan.)—These are an addi- tional volume of the travelling experiences of Miss Marianne North. They refer to a period earlier than that covered by the two volumes already published. Miss North had not yet definitely found what was to be the great occupation of her life. We see her beginning to form that liking which afterwards grew into a passion for travel. And we also see her first efforts in the art in which she so excelled. It is a place in the Pyrenees that first tempts her by its beauty to try her hand at a sketch. The volume, so far, is inferior in interest to the two already pub- lished, but so far only. In other respects, it is equally good, because equally characteristic.
