Herr Baedeker adds to his series of "Handbooks for Travellers,"
Great Britain. (K. Baedeker, Leipzig; Dulau and Co., London.)— Greet Britain includes England, Wales, and Scotland as far as Leah Maree and the Cromarty Firth. The maps number fourteen, the plans twenty four, and there is a panorama giving the view of the monntaius seen from the summit of Snowdon. The value of the Baedeker handbooks is well known, and we see no reason for sup- posing that this is inferior to the series. The author does his subject the compliment of adorning it with a special contribution from Professor Freeman, a " Historical Sketch of English Architecture." Oxford men will have a satisfaction in hearing the judgment of the impartial stranger on an endless controversy. " Oxford is, on the whole, more attractive than Cambridge to an ordinary visitor ; and the traveller is therefore recommended to visit Cambridge first, or to omit it altogether if he cannot visit both."
