North-Eastern Prance. Edited by Findlay Muirhead and 'Marcel Monmarche. "The

Blue Guides." (Macmillan. 10s. net.)—This handbook will please those travellers who like to find the history of the country they are visiting bound up in the same volume as accounts of the excursions they can take and the names of the hotels from which they can take them. The present book contains also accounts of the British Campaigns in the West (by Sir Frederick Maurice) and those of the Americans (by the U.S. General Staff) and the French. The book will not only be found useful to the traveller, but is also pleasant--if tantalizing—reading for those who are compelled by force of circumstances to "make their voyages in their atlases" and guide-books.
