Seeing the Far West. By John T. Faris. (Lippincott. 25s.

net.)—This is an interesting and attractive book about the wild and grand scenery to be found in the Western States of America. It is well illustrated with photographs which show that Mr. Faris is not too enthusiastic in his descriptions. The Grand Canyon, Arizona, and Zion Canyon, Utah, for example, are profoundly impressive. Nature has worked on a large scale in the Rockies. Mr. Faris says a good deal about the Federal and State reservations like Yellowstone Park and about the forests. He states that there are many thousands of miles of good motor-roads in the Far West, and that new roads are being made every year. In the interests of irrigation, as well as of tourists, the wild places are becoming more and more accessible.
