HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS IN HAMPSHIRE.
Highways and Byways in Hampshire. By D. H. Moutray Read. With Illustrations by Arthur B. Connor. (Macmillan and Co. 6s.)—Hampshire, though the author has perforce to limit himself very strictly in speaking of the New 'Forest and- leaves out the Isle of Wight, is only too wealthy a subject. Winchester, Christchurch, Beaulieu, Silchester, Romsey, are a few of the names
which suggest themselves as well deserving to have a separate volume for each. On the whole, the county is richer in memories than any other English shire, Kent only excepted. Mr. Moutray Read has dealt with his subject in a satisfactory way. He might have spared a few paragraphs for one of the county's chief boasts ; it is one of the very few that possess salmon rivers. We cannot so much as find the word " salmon " mentioned by him. Mr. Connor 's illustrations are attractive, and the whole volume is worthy of the excellent series to which it belongs.
