Swiss Pictures Drawn with Pen and Pencil. (Religious Tract Society.)—This

is a new edition of a work which originally ap- peared just a quarter of a century ago, and was, indeed, the first of the highly popular "Pen and Pencil Series." It was written by Dr. S. Manning, and illustrated by Mr. E. Whymper. The new edition of the text is due, we suppose, to Dr. S. G. Green, while Mr. Whymper has added some new illustrations. But of the earlier work, that dealing with the Rhine and the Italian Lakes has been omitted ; the Swiss portion proper has been con- siderably enlarged, the Switzerland known to the tourist of the present day being much larger than the region with which he was content five-and-twenty years ago. A valuable addition is Mr. Stanford's admirable map.
