Canada the Spellbinder. By Lilian Whiting. (J. M. Dent and

Sons. 62. net.)—This pleasant book on the great Dominion gives a traveller's impressions of the charm and vigour of the Canadian cities from old Quebec to Prince Rupert, the youngest of all, and of the variety and beauty of Canadian scenery, especially in the Ontario lake region, in the Rockies, and on the Pacific coast. There is a chapter on the poets of Canada, C. G. D. Roberts, Bliss Carman, W. H. Drummond, and others, and there are numerous illustrations.
