Egypt as a Winter Resort. By F. M. Sandvrith. (Kegan
Paul, Trench, and Co.)—Mr. Sandwith, who has had personal experience of his subject in the capacity of a "Vice-Director in the Sanitary Department," has written an excellent book. He is practical and suggestive. What a visitor to Egypt should take with him, what he may expect to find, how he may best utilise the advantages of the climate, even how he may amuse himself by excursions and the like, will be found in this useful volume. We may specially mention the chapter on "The Voyage up the Nile." The appendix dealing with the actual effect of residence in Egypt on cases of phthisis, gives satisfactory results. All but advanced cases may be benefited. But these, to quote Mr. Sandwith's words, "will often be much happier leading an indoor life in their own un- favourable climate than an occasional outdoor one in a more favourable one."
