Mr. E. V. Lucas has published a revised edition of

London Revisited (Methuen, 10s. 6d.) with sixteen charming colour illustrations by Mr. Livens. This is almost a new book. The author's style vivifies for us the very gloomiest subjects. Even the College of Surgeons does not daunt him. Telling us of the skulls and skeletons there, he observes : " What a railway terminus and a Babel will this be when the Last TrUmp blows." Mr. Lucas brings life and gaiety to everything he touches.
