Hyatt. (Chatto and Windus. 2s.)—Mr. Hyatt has arranged his book in twelve divisions, to which he gives such titles as "Edina's Charms," "Edinburgh Streets," "Royal Edinburgh," "Close . and Wynd," "A Few Edinburgh Portraits;' with a number of quotations from authors old and new. Here we have William Dunbar, Fynes Morison, author of the famous "Itinerary," Thomas Carlyle, R. L. Stevenson, W. E. Henley, W. E. Aytoun, and many another. This is a very attractive book.
