A Yacht Voyage Round England. By William H. G. Kingston..

(Religions Tract Society.)—Mr. Kingston tells a very pleasant story of how the Lively' and the 'Dolphin ' sailed from Portsmouth west- ward, and approached it again from the east. The 'Lively' avoids the dangers of Cape Wrath and the Orkneys by passing through the Caledonian Canal ; the Dolphin' goes the round duly, and without disaster. Mr. Kingston gossips from time to time about the places past which he brings us, and altogether contrives to give his readers a very good share of instruction and amusement. There are two or three spirited stories of wreck and rescue, which Mr. Kingston, who- is an experienced hand at such matters, tells with what seems to us just the right admixture of detail.
