Travelling Impressions in, and Notes on, Peru. By Felix Seebee.
(Elliot Stock. 3s. 6d.)—We really get a very lively impression of what travel in Peru means, for Mr. Seebee poses as a "green- horn," and his experiences, frankly related as a boy might relate them, are just such as most people keep to themselves for fear of being laughed at. We get a little tired of this pose and its accompanying and rather feeble humour, and having become acquainted with the capacity of the mule for mountain travel- ling, we find little more to interest us. Mr. Seebee's concluding remarks on Peru are not fresh, though they are truer of Peru than of any of the other old Spanish colonies. For those who desire fresh, wholesome air we can recommend mule-balk travelling in Peru, as combining rest for the over civilised nerves, and what is commonly known as the "liver-jog."
