The District Railway Guide to London. (A. Boot and Sons.)—This

is a useful book, printed in large type, but not too big to be carried in the pocket. It gives us maps of London conveniently arranged in sections, with a key ; and, following these, a variety of informa- tion about various localities in London, interesting churches, and the like. Then the Inner Circle line is followed from station to

station, beginning with Aldgate. As we come to each station, the objects of interest within reach are mentioned and described.

This is done in an intelligent and readable way. Some informa- tion about the railways having their terminuses in London, lists of cab-fares, &c., are then given.
