TounrsT - Booxs. — Father Rhine. (J. M. Dent and Co.) — This is a very
pleasant book of journeying. The author and his friend, having twenty days of holiday at their disposal, spent them in making their way from the mouth of the Rhine to its source. And they did this for .V2 odd apiece, going by road and cycle. Nor did they fail to get good and clean, often roomy, lodgings. The story of these days is capitally told. It has fun, but not too Mitch of it, and nothing that is not natural. Now and then there is a little touch of sentiment, but nothing sentimental. The meeting with the old College tutor is admirable. The astute old don " bests " them as he had been wont to do in the old days.— Shakespeare's Country. By Bertram C. A. Windle. Illustrated by Edmund H. New (Methuen and Co. 33. 6d. net.)—Mr. Windle tells us an old story,—Stratford, and its neighbouring villages, Warwick, and Kenilworth, as they are, and as they were; but it is a story that we are never tired of hearing, and Mr. New's pic- tures are a fresh attraction.—Jarrold's Illustrated Guide to Scar- borough, Whitby, 4-c. (Jerrold and Sons. 6d.)—This is ti useful guide to the watering-places on the Yorkshire Coast, from Redcar down to the Humber.
