Egypt and the Nile. By John Patterson, M.D. (Churchill.)—The object

of Dr. Patterson's little book is to supply English doctors with trustworthy information as to the climate of Egypt and the Nile, in order that they may know when their patients will be benefited by wintering there. With this view, full meteorological tables are given in an appendix, and the opening sketch, though slight, is pleasant, and affords the necessary details.
