Notes on my Journey Bound the World. By Evelyn Cecil,
BA. (Longmans.)—Western Canada, the "Wild West" in the States, Japan, and British India are the chief subjects of Mr. Cecil's "Notes." He is always sensible and interesting; but it is in India, we think, that we see him to the best advantage. He de- scribes well, and comments shrewdly. The book is adorned with some good illustrations.—Midnight Sunbeams ; or, Bits of Travel through the Land of the Norseman, by Edwin Coolidge Kemball (Alex. Gardner), records the experiences of an American traveller who visited Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, and was almost uniformly delighted with what he saw. His fifty-six days' trip—which took him as far as the North Cape--cost him just £40. He is quite right in saying that so much, both as regards time, distance, and pleasure, could hardly be got elsewhere in Europe for the same money.
