A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN
NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL,
END THE SCILLY ISLANDS.
BY EDWARD SPENDER
PRICE 35.

"It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written
Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the
holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively
devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give
the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs,
industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl ring. Fm
intending visitors td Norway especially, Mr. Spender s book will
be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com-
pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."—
Daily Telegraph.
"The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap
and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting
matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be
useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to
those who staf at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a
most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent
and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."—
Yorkshire Post.

" It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon-
sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the
intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether
the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the
happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on
our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembraucer."
—Sun

" Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The
essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the
others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all
are written in a genial spirit."—Globe.
"Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur-
poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information,
all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a
line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery
bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the
picturesque, just as his closely compreksed facts and statements
prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man-
chester Courier.
" From back to ‘mck `Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter
interesting equally to the leurist and the ordinary reader. It is
written in an easy and pleasant styl , and is well `got up.' "
Eastern Morning News.
'• We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con-
gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially
is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall,
it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica-
tion to the general public. .. .As to its, literary merits we
need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient
guarantee on this point."—Western Mail.

" The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full
of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- -
reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTORY
of MITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman F. LS.,
Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; al3O a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localitiei where found. Each moth is drown from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his Lest style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species : and if varieties

Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is

now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists op the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Eicld.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable."--Daily Telegraph.
"It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species.
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."--Stamiard.
"The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newmen's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.
