Downland Pathways (East Sussex). By A. Hadrian Allcroft. (Hove :

Combridges. 2s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Allcroft's very readable book shows an intimate knowledge of the South Downs between Lewes and Shoreham and of the history of the district. He has a keen eye for old tracks, whether Roman or not, and for the remains of camps and dewponds and other vestiges of anti- quity. Those who have walked over the Downs at the back of Brighton and towards the Adur Valley will appreciate Mr. Allcroft's interesting notes and descriptions. After the ordinary conventional guide this little book is uncommonly stimulating.
