" WALKING ESSAYS."
pro THE EDITOR or TOR " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Referring to the notice of "Walking Essays" by Arthur Hugh Sidgwick, in your issue of January 18th, I
notice that the reviewer mentions Walker Miles and speaks of him as though he were still living. Unfortunately this is not so, as I well know, having had occasion frequently to make use of his very admirable guides when, &ccompanied by my friend, Mr. F. Swainson, the author of several books for boys, I have enjoyed the inestimable advantage of having one of Walker Miles's books with me, without which I should have lost my way, finding by a somewhat lengthy experience that it is hopeless to rely for guidance upon the inhabitants of villages, who seem neither to take any interest in their own immediate surroundings nor to be acquainted with the country beyond their own borders.—I am, Sir, &c.,
26 We11don Crescent, Harrow. AR.TIIDE A. NEALE.
