Cornwall is among the most picturesque of English counties, not

only on account of its scenery, but also on account of the legends of its past. Mr. J. Henry Harris in Cornish Saints and Sinners (John Lane, 2s. 8d. net) has profited by this fact to produce a kind of informal guide-book, in which nature and history, anecdote and romance, are each in turn brought in for the reader's enjoyment. A large number of drawings by Mr. Raven-Hill also contribute satisfactorily to the same end.
