CURRENT LITERATURE.

A Guide to Buxton. (John Heywood, Manchester and London.) —This is a convenient little book, and certainly cheap, for it costs 'only a penny. For this we get forty-eight pages, illustrated with the usual information about sights to be seen, distances, &c., with a map. This is but one of a number, forty-eight in all, of similar guides, not all as long, for the subject does not always demand the same fullness of treatment, but constructed on the same plan, and equally serviceable, we do not doubt. Some of them include more places than one. The East Coast and Welsh watering-places, for instance, are taken two or three together. It is needless to give a list ; but most of the interesting cities, towns, and health-resorts may be found among them.
