EssonooKs.—The series of "Murray's English Handbooks (John Murray) is fitly

concluded by A Handbook of Warwick- shire (6s.), the central county of England," to which is allotted a volume of its own. It is needless to speak in praise of these excel- lent books, which are as conveniently arranged, as full, and as accurate as could be desired. There are two county maps, plans of the four chief towns, Coventry, Birmingham (in three divisions), Leamington, and Stratford-on-Avon, and of the two famous castles, Kenilworth and Warwick.—Together with this we may mention in the series of "Holmesdale Towns" (Beeching's) A Handbook for Reigate, Bedhill, and Neighbourina Districts, by T. Francis W. Hamilton.
