By Fell and Dale. By the Rev. H. D. Rawnsley.
(J. Maclehose and Sons, Glasgow. 6s.)—This is one of the " Lake Country " books with which Canon Rawnsley from time to time delights all lovers of that region and, indeed, all lovers of nature and good literature. He writes about the landscapes, especially as seen at times when the visitor seldom sees them, winter and spring; he gives us vivid descriptions of the lake-dwellers, with their strongly marked characteristics, physical and moral; he is particularly great on sheep and the dogs which keep order among them in so marvellously intelligent a fashion. We do not care to single out for special praise any one scene or narrative. The whole book should certainly be read. To some it may suggest a. visit to the country, and to those who cannot go it will serve as something of a consolation.
