Cambridge County Geographies : Somerset. By Francis Knight and Louie

Dutton. (Cambridge University Press. Is. 6d.)—It would be difficult to imagine a better short account of Somerset than that to be found in this little book. The authors have given us a great deal more than mere geography ; indeed, we have here a small county history in which the physical, antiquarian, agri- cultural, social, and historic interests are all touched upon. They describe sympathetically the beauties of the scenery and of the architecture of the county, and have provided a number of well- chosen illustrations. By some slip the name of Rodney has been left out of the roll of honour, where he should have had his place by the side of Blake.
