Mediterranean Winter Resorts, by Eustace A. Reynolds-Ball, 2 vols. (Hazel,
Watson, and Viney, 3s. 6d. per vol.), appears in a fifth edition. The first volume is devoted to Southern Europe ; the second to North Africa and the Mediterranean islands. The book has been enlarged and revised throughout, special attention having been paid to information about hotels, &c. In another direction there has been development. Places scarcely to be classed as " Winter Resorts," because, as a matter of fact, people do- not as yet resort to them, such as Cyprus, are included. And the• scope of the book is enlarged so as to take in more than is con- noted by the title. The West Indies are described as a resort, and there is an article on " Wintering in India."—We may mention at the same time the "fourth edition, revised and enlarged," of Philips' Handy-Volume Atlas of London (G. Philip and Son, 5s.) There are fifty-five sections, to which an index is supplied by a numbered map. The usual information about churches, chapels, museums, hospitals, clubs, &c., is supplied. A new and conveniently arranged index has been drawn up, and there are other additions and changes which increase the con- venience of the volume.
