Club - Land. By Joseph Hatton. (Virtue and Co.)—The papers of this

volume have already appeared in the Art Journal, and have, we think, been noticed in the Spectator. Mr. Hatton gives us some pleasant gossip about London Clubs, and though he has nothing particularly new to tell, is always readable, and some- times instructive. Is it not a fact that a London club to which both men and women belong is an established success ? Mr. Hatton seems to regard this as a possibility of a quite distant future. There is a goodly show of illustrations, both of exteriors and interiors, and the scope of the work is extended to Provincial as well as to Metropolitan clubs. Some of the pleasantest clubs in existence are to be found elsewhere than in London.
