Touater - Booxs. — New Three Miles to an Inch Map of England. (W.
and A. K. Johnston. ls. or ls. 6d.)— This map is in five - and- twenty divisions, some of them containing but small portions of land. No. 25, for instance, gives us the South Coast from a point somewhat to the North-East of Hastings to another half-way between Brighton and Chichester, with a narrow strip of inland. It shows the con- figuration of the island that seven only out of the twenty-five are wholly terra firma. The specimen before us, No. 19, is one of them, though in this we have part of the estuary of the Thames. Its boundaries are Hitchin (North), Cuckfleld (South), Maid- stone (East), and Windsor (West). The features of the country, natural and artificial, are clearly given. The map has all the appearance of utility.—Round Orated, by " Walker Miles " (R. E. Taylor and Son), is one of a series of " Field - Path Rambles." Among the places included are Limpsfield, Wester- ham, Godstone, and:Caterham, to mention a few of the most important. Each path is most minutely described, to the exclu- sion, one would think, of all possible mistake. We observe a number of notices of changes that have taken place in localities described in other numbers of the series. We are glad to see that the local committees of the Commons Preservation Society are active. Nor are there wanting proofs that there is constant need of vigilance.—Worcester Cathedral. By the Rev. T. Teign- mouth-Shore. (Isbister and Co.)—We do not see that this book, which is not long enough to go into the details which one would like to see, was called for. Still, being here, it may be read with pleasure and profit. It gives a good sketch of the architectural history of the building. About the personal history it is almost silent. Mr. Hedley Fitton has illustrated with some tasteful and attractive drawings.
