The Practical Guide to Algiers. By George W. Harris. (G.
Philip and Son.)—This is the fourth edition of a useful book, " revised," we are assured, " up-to-date and enlarged." It seems to give every kind of practical information that can be desired, and to supplement this from time to time by other matters of interest, natural, social, and historical.—We may mention at the same time,—Natal: the Land and its Story. By Robert Russell. (Davis and Sons, Petermaritzburg.)—This is described indeed as "A Geography and History for the Use of Schools," and is the work of an inspector of schools. It is hardly to be supposed that English schoolboys will find time, or have time found for them, sufficient to master this volume. In Natal, things are natu ally otherwise arranged. Hence the book, which has reached a "third edition," will find readers among the general public rather than in class-rooms.
