Two books which visitors to London, not to speak of

Londoners themselves, will certainly find useful, are London of To-Day, by Charles Eyre Pascoe (Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.) ; and London in 1894, originally compiled by Herbert Fry (W. H. Allen and Co.) The former appears in its "tenth annual edition ;" the latter in its "fourteenth." We are not disposed to express any preference for one over the other; but perhaps we may say that Mr. Pascoe's book is the more literary of the two, Mr. Fry's the more practical : it contains, we may add, a map.—We may mention at the same time, The Tourists' Pocket-Book, by George F. Chambers (Philip and Son). It contains vocabularies in fifteen languages, and a variety of useful information. This, we see, is the "fifth edition."
