Incidents of Travel and Sketches of Remarkable Places in England
and other Countries. By C. R. Carter. (D. Green.)—Mr. Carter, who has apparently seen the world extensively, starting from the other side of it, asks his readers' indulgence for his book, on the plea that ho is not a professional author. That is just the reason why he has made this simple, frank, unconventional volume so very pleasant to read, and why it inspires a sentiment of positive friendliness. Quick, observant, of a cheerful disposition, full of equally diffused interest in all places, people, and things, the author is not troubled by any considerations of what other writers have said concerning them, or respecting his own manner of narrating his adventures, experiences, and impressions. So he travels about, over a great part of Europe, and all through England, takes a flight to Morocco, and tells us just what he saw, and how, everything struck him, after a delightful fashion, which could not readily be imitated. The pleasant volume is very well illustrated.
