All Round the World. By Parker Gilimore. (Chapman and Hall.)—
Mr. Gilmore, who is perhaps better known by the name of "Ubique gives us some capital sporting "adventures in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America." Far as he travels, and strange as is the game to which he often introduces us, we never like him better than when he tells in most spirited fashion the story of his "first salmon." Bat he is always interesting, and writes with a really good tone. Specially noteworthy by the young readers for whom his book is primarily intended, though the elder too (expert° credits) will not find it chill, are the remarks on unnecessary slaughter. We sometimes are visited by a suspicion that all sport—except, of course, fishing, which this writer happens to be very fond of—is unnecessary; meanwhile, till' this point is settled, we can, at all events, discountenance the foolish and cruel massacre which often goes by the name. The volume is furnished with some very spirited illustrations by Mr. Sidney P. Hall.
