The Hon. John Byng continues his tours : these volumes

(Eyre and Spot- tiswoode, 18s. each) cover the years 1789 to 1791 and 1792-3 ; the tours extend over the Midlands, the North, Bedfordshire, Lincolnshire and North "%Vales. Mr. Bruyn Andrews edits them, with the same competence as he dis- played in Volume I, and he promises in a Foreword that the Fourth and concluding volume will include not only the tour into Bedfordshire of 1794 but two tours, contained in volumes hitherto missing but recently discovered, of 1789 and 1790. The volumes are illustrated with bill - heads and topographical sketches, and the whole series is an indispensable addition to the library of anyone interested in books of tins kind.
