The Sent Coast (County Coast Series). By Arthur D. Lewis.
(T. Fisher Unwin. 6s. net.)—Mr. Lewis comes to his task with excellent equipment, the equipment both of the study and of the field. He has been round all the coast on foot—it is satisfactory to know that it can be kept to everywhere, an attraction which all seaside counties do not possess. And he has read about the history of the places which have a history, and knows, too, how to make good use of what he has read. Some of the places are but little known though they are not far away. People who have visited the Antipodes may never have seen the Isle of Sheppey. Nor is he above commonplace things, appreciating, for instance, Kentish ale. It is quite surprising how much the quality of ale varies in different countries. In a Kentish village you will seldom find it bad; you will rarely be able to drink it in — but we will not give the name of the county. Altogether this is a very pleasant and useful book ; about which we are glad to say a favourable and, we hope, seasonable word.
