Switzerland: Handbook for Travellers. By Karl Baedeker. (T. Fisher Unwin.

8s. net.)—This handbook is in its twenty-third edition. When we add that it is illustrated with more than a hundred maps, plans, &c., and has been in all respects carefully brought up to date, further description, in view of the high reputation of the Baedeker series, is needless. We may add, how- ever, that the last section is devoted to Northern Italy, and contains notices of the lakes, Milan, &c. In this Messrs. Baedeker show their customary appreciation of a traveller's wants. A visit to this region is a frequent conclusion to a Swiss tour.
