Express Trains, English and Foreign. By E. Foxwell and T.

C. Farrer. (Smith, Elder, and Co.)—We get in this volume details as to all the express trains in England, the Continent, and America. It is, indeed, very comprehensive, with explanatory notes as to routes, which are perhaps the most valuable matter in the volume. It requires some judgment, however, to pick out exactly what one wants, though, after all, it is an immense im- provement on any time-table. Readers will appreciate the explana- tion of the routes of various Companies, English and foreign, perhaps more than the actual statistics.
