Travel and Adventure in Thibet. By W. A. Carey. (Hodder
and Stoughton. 6s )-The most interesting part of Mr. Cat ey's book to most readers will be the diary of Miss Taylor through the ° Chang" in 1892-93, a marvellous record of the success of simple faith and trust in Providence. But Mr. Carey's own account of Thibet and its religion is very well written indeed, and gives us a vivid picture of the country as it is, and the peculiarly impres- sive eharacter of its isolation. The contrast between the impassive conservatism and the mountainous isolation of the lend, and the vast changes and revolutions that have succeeded one another in the plains at the foot of the Himalayas, furnishes Mr. Cerey with a subject for some effective prose. The illusti a- th ale add to the readableness of the book, which must enlist the sympathy of feminine travellers.
