The Thames from Chelsea to the Nore. By Thomas R
Way and Walter G. BelL (John Lane. 42a. net.)—We have lately had several books about the Thames, but none in which the lower course of the river is more graphically pictured. Mr. Way has studied his subject under various conditions, and always gives us something well worth looking at. He avails himself of the remark- able effects produced by the London atmosphere, especially when such an object as the dome of St. Paul's is part of the scene. " St. Paul's under Snow" is a striking picture, but we should like to have seen it as it stands up in a golden haze on a fine summer's day. It is then one of the most beautiful things in the world_ Of the other drawings we would mention "From Kosher- ville Gardens," "In the Estuary near Leigh," " The End of the Journey : Southend," a derelict sloop, and "Afterglow, Lower Pool," done in colour.
