A Holiday in Iceland. By N. L. Van Gruisen, Jun.

(Elliot Stock.) —This is a pleasant account of a summer tour in Iceland, not to be compared with some books on the same subject that have been pub- lished before, but yet worth looking at by any who may be thinking of making the trip. There are some practical directions as to the clothing, provisions, ar d general outfit which the tmvellor should provide before starting, which are likely to be useful.
