Publications Cook's Traveller's Hand Book to Paris (Simpkin Marshall. 2s.
6d.) though nominally a new edition of a familiar work, has actually been entirely re-written by Mr. Roy Elston, whose writings on France are familiar to travellers. Both the information and the maps are therefore now thoroughly up to date, and there is even a supplement dealing with the Colonial Exhibition of this year. The only criticism that can be made is that the index is unnecessarily divided into sections in different parts of the book. In a work to be carried in the pocket, for which its size fits this- orie,- one comprehensive
index for the whole book by far the mast convenient.
Handbook of Student Travel in Europe, issued by the Com- mission for International Relations and Travel, is a complete guide to the facilities offered to students by international unions and societies, by the Governments- of various countries, and contains in addition much useful, if sometimes elementary, advice about travel. The passport and visa diagram, which shows at a glance the documents necessary m passing from any country to any other, is particularly useful. The Intelligent Student's Guide to Europe, issued by the same Commission, contains most of the information •in a condensed form, omits the advice, and has -in addition a calen- dar of European events which is useful but might well include more.
