Cruising in the Netherlands. By G, Christopher Davies. (Jerrold and
Sons.)—Mr. G. C. Davies has made himself the guide and friend of thousands of readers by his pleasant books about East Anglian rivers and lakes. He now invites us to go farther afield, issuing under this title " A. Handbook to Certain of the Rivers and Canals of Holland, Friesland, and the North of Belgium." Amsterdam, the Zuyder Zee (soon, we suppose, to disappear), with its island of Urk and the Urkieh damsels, Texel Stream, Haarlem, and Rotterdam, are among the places about which Mr. Davies gossips in a very pleasant fashion.—From the same publishers we have also received Jerrold's Illustrated Guides to Aldeburgh, Felixstowe, and Cromer.—Murray's Handbook to Scotland (John Murray) appears in a " sixth edition," which has been to a con- siderable extent rewritten and generally revised to bring it up to date.—From Mr. E. Stanford we have received new editions of The Tourist's Guide to South Devon, by R. N. Worth ; Tourist's Guide to North Devon, by same Author; and Tourist's Guide to West Riding of Yorkshire, by the late G. Phillips Bevan, revised by R. N. Worth.
