Lazy Tours. By Louisa Chandler Moulton. (Ward, Lock, and Co.)—We

are always glad to read what Miss Moulton is pleased to write. Her impressions of the Old World, of Spain, where she describes the Escorial with special force, of Naples, Rome, and Florence, of Paris and Switzerland, and of various " cures " in sundry parts of Europe, are always agreeably given. It is quite a pity that she puts us English off with so very scanty a notice. She speaks of Tunbridge Wells and of the Yorkshire Coast, and is much pleased with them. Some day she will tell us about Oxford and Cambridge, about Winchester and a hundred other places we could name. It is a real pleasure to read what a kindly, cultivated visitor from the other side has to say about us and our country.
