A Magician in Many Lands. By the late Charles Bertram.

Edited by Professor Hoffman. (G. Routledge and Sons. 7s. 6d.) —This is an amusing account of a number of curious experiences. Mr. Bertram travelled widely. He tells us of extensive journeyings in India—these occupy a considerable proportion of the volume— and of travels in China, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States. His last performance was in the card-room of the steamer which carried him back to England, and it certainly was a worthy termination to a highly successful tour.
