Adventures in Many Lands. By Parker Gillmore. (Marcus Ward.) —Mr.

Gillmore amply justifies his nom de plume of " Ubique." He takes his readers pretty well all round the world, beginning at home in England, and taking them by way of Gibraltar, North Africa, India, China, and Japan, to America. Everywhere he has something amusing or exciting to tell them, and does it in a sufficiently unassuming and modest way. If he had retrenched one or two quite unnecessary accounts of drinking-bouts, we should have had nothing but praise to give to this volume.
