Paris and Her Treasures. By Ethel E. Bicknell. (Methuen and

Co. 5s. net.)—The chief sights of Paris and its neighbourhood are here described in alphabetical order. The treatment and style are more human than those of Baedeker, but there is a corresponding loss in the quantity of information supplied. The first section of the book, dealing with "Some Practical Notes on Paris," will probably be found to be the most useful part of it.—A new edition has just appeared of The Charm of Paris: An Anthology_ compiled by Mr. Alfred H. Hyatt (Chatto and Windns, 58. net), to which twelve new pictures by Mr. Harry Morley have been added.
