The Dunlap Book. Compiled by E. J. Burrow, E. R.
Cross, and A. J. Wilson. (Simpkin, Marshall, and A. J. Wilson. 21s.)— This handsome quarto, strongly bound in leather with a clasp, is the second and revised edition of the road-book for motor- drivers issued by the Dunlop Rubber Company. We may regret that the necessities of advertisement have introduced the familiar figure of "Mr. Dunlop" in the most incongruous places—as, for instance, in an otherwise charming sketch of a cathedral interior— but apart from this the book is a most artistic and useful work. The gazetteer is comprehensive and accurate, the notes on architecture, sport, and hotels are well written, the numerous coloured maps in sections are just what a driver needs, and the hundreds of roadside sketches, arranged alphabetically in a separate part of the book, will interest every one who cares for old crosses, town gates, and other antiquities in which the English countryside is rich. We commend the book to every one who has a car.
