THE WYE.
The Wye. Painted by Sutton Palmer. Described by A. G. Bradley. (A. and C. Black. 7s. 6d. net.)—A capital book on a fine subject, a subject only too rich in matter. It is possible that this or that reader may miss a scene with which he happens to be familiar, has, perhaps, some specially interesting associa- tion; but no one can reasonably complain that the beauties of this most beautiful of rivers have not had justice done to them. The illustrations number twenty-four, and it is difficult to make s, choice among them. We should like to have seen something of Bredwardine, because it happens to have a place in memory ; but we would not therefore exclude any one of the views which are here, certainly not one of the four which represent the glories of Tintern, or that which worthily occupies the place of honour as the frontispiece, or the fine landscape which shows the Hay and Radnor Forest, or, indeed, any one. Mr. Bradley has done his task with his usual skill. The chief historical interest belongs to the upper river ; but there is something to be said about it from source to estuary, and Mr. Bradley says it very well.
