Arabic Vocabulary for Egypt. (Sampson Low, Marston, and Co.)—For those
who do not intend to go deeply into the language, but desire to pick up just enough Arabic to get along with in Egypt, this is exactly the book. It contains a few simple rules of grammar, very clearly and con- cisely explained, a small collection of the commonest idiomatic expressions, with both their literal translation and English equivalent, and an English-Arabic vocabulary. It is of a handy size to carry about in the pocket. We have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of another of Mr. Grant Allen's " Historical Guides " (Grant Richards). This volume bears the title of Cities of Belgium. Mr. Grant Allen counsels the tourist to visit the cities in this order : Bruges, Ghent, Brussels, Antwerp. Ho further advises that while giving a week to the capital, he should allot not less than three or four days apiece to the other cities. These " Guides " are an addition of the greatest value to the apparatus of travel.
