An Exploration of Dartmoor and its Antiquities. By John Ll.

England. Mr. Page divides his book into four quarters, after the points of the compass, probably as convenient a method as could have been followed, after giving a preliminary account of the Moor, its history, its customs, the life of its inhabitants, its legends, and its antiquities. Few readers will be prepared for the very large variety of topics which a thorough exploration of the Moor, of its past and its present, suggests to an observer who, like Mr. Page, brings both enthusiasm and industry to his task. Possibly here and there a local expert may find an omission, or even an error; but it may safely be said that few people know as much about the whole Moor as does Mr. Page. His book is illus- trated with some good etchings.
