GUIDE-BOOKS.
Terry's Japanese Empire. By T. Philip Terry. (Constable and Co. 21e. net.)—Travellers are regretfully aware that there is as yet no Baedeker for Japan, though there is an excellent English substitute. Mr. Terry has compiled a new guide-book to this fascinating country, which in size, get-up, and arrangement is evidently modelled on Baedeker—the classical model of such works. He is qualified for his task by nearly twelve years of residence in Japan, and by repeated journeys on foot (and otherwise) from end to end of the country. So far as we can judge from reading the book at home, we feel justified in recommending it to the tourist, as it seems to be eminently practical and trustworthy, and it is based on a thorough appreciation of the manifold charms of Japan.—Gloucestershire; Warwickshire; Cambridgeshire. By J. Charles Cox. (Methuen and Co. 2s. 6d. net each.)—These volumes of the excellent "Little Guides" deal with three interesting counties in detail, and should be first-rate pocket companions for a walking or cycling tour.
