Of the Beaten Track in Busses. By Arthur Stanley Cooke.
(S. Combridge : Hove. 7s. 6d. net)—There is an interesting little group of books which has to do with Sussex scenery, architecture and history, and this is one of them. No detailed criticism is called for. The author knows and loves the county well, has a keen eye for observing, and knows bow to put his impressions into words. Sussex is a land of no small variety. There are stretches of somewhat monotonous scenery between Hastings and East- bourne, for instance, and again between the mouth of the Arun and Chichester. But the picturesque predominates, and it has this great advantage, that, considering its proximity to London, there is much country that may be described as " off the beaten track." In the eastern division especially it is easier to get away from the railway, if that is considered desirable, than anywhere else in the Home Counties. Mr. Cooke, then, has clearly had a good opportunity of writing an interesting book, and he has not neglected it.
