The Gardens of Italy. By Charles Latham. With Descriptions by

E. March Phillipps. 2 vols. (Country Life. .438 3s.)—With less parade of learning than the former work, these volumes are a mine of lovely things. Indeed, it would be difficult to better the photographs, and. the letterpress is interesting and readable. Those who have spent pleasant hours in the gardens of Tivoli or Frascati will enjoy recalling by means of this work the time passed in those places of ordered beauty.
