The Cornish Coast and Moors. By A. J. Folliott Stokes.

(Green- ing and Co. 12s. 6d. net.)—A walk along the coastguard path of Cornwall is an excellent way of spending a holiday, but to make such a walk the subject of a book of three hundred and fifty pages is a somewhat rash undertaking. Mr. Folliott Stokes's style is not always fortunate, and his lyrical passages are rather too frequent. At the same time he is an honestly enthusiastic admirer of his subject, and has been at great pains in describing with the minutest accuracy every detail of the coast-line of Cornwall (or as he prefers to call it "the Delectable Duchy") from Aramland to Cawsand.
