Hampshire. Edited by A. R. Hope Moncrieff. (A. and C.

Black.)—A new edition of Messrs. A. and C. Black's guide-book. The plan of mentioning places in the supposed order of their popularity tends a little to confusion, but a good index partially remedies this. The information in the book, if a little scanty, is clearly expressed, and the maps are good.
