A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN
NORWAY, TIIE CIIANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL,

AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS.
BY EDWARD SPENDER
PRICE 3s.

"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. For
intending visitors to 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 stay 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 remembrances."

" 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."— Globt.

" 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 compressed facts and statements
prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man-
chester Courier.

"From back to hack Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter
interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is
written in an easy and pleasant style, 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 BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S.
Giving a full description of the perfect insect froin nature ; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work
Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. 6d. each part. Part X.
now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists op the completion and
publication of this magnificent work"—Field.
"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
paapy rare specimens."—Standard.

"The completion of Mr. Newman' work bn the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
h!gh 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. Newman'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 lValer, Oct. 9.

44 HISTOnICUS" IN THE FlELD.—England is
now all safe. There is no danger of her neutrality being
disturbed, or anything of that sort. Gladstone and Gran-
ville can sleep the slumber of babes. "Historicus" has
resumed his pen in the Times. Everything will, there-
fore, now become as bright as a rainbow and as sweet as
rosewater.

MOVEMENTS OF OUR POLITICAL PARTlES.—Re-
publicans and democrats, here and there, throughout
the country, are moving in their nominations for the
next Congress, and in the declaration of their principles,
which are all pretty much the same story. From
all these movements it is apparent that the next
House of Representatives will be largely made
up of members of the present House on both
sides, and from republican apathy, especially in New
York, the chances are in favour of democratic gains.
Senator Fenton has been down to Long Branch without
seeing General Grant or Collector Murphy, and Miirphy
is, perhaps, too much absorbed in the Long Branch races
just now to care mucn about Fenton or his followers. Nor
will the season of politics fairly set in until the summer
fashionable season is ended and the seaside moths and
butterflies have returned to town. Then, whatever may
be the excitements of the European war and the bustle of
the fall trade, the fuss and fury, follies and flummery of
our wrangling politicians, in their struggles for the next
Congress, will give us some rare sport in sheaving them
up.— New York Herald.

MONUMENT TO CHARLES DICKENS.—We publish
in full the will of Charles Dickens. With all t!ie neces-
sary legal verbiage, it is a most characteristic production,
illustrated with touches of true tenderness, and
betraying in unmistakable language that hatred
of shams .which was so marked in all his writings.
" I emphatically direct that those who attend my
funeral wear no scarf, cloak, black bow, long hat-
band, or other such revolting absurdity. I conjure my
friends on no account to make me the subject of any
monument, memorial, or testimonial whatever." We
trust the American admirers of Mr. Dickens will
obey this solemn injunction, and abandon the pro-
ject of a Dickens monument, of which something
has from time to time been heard The terms
of the will left it in the power of the trustees to
preserve, the pictures, objects of curiosity, &c., which
were recently sold, until the children came of age, when
the heirs might have agreed among themselves to keep
them in the family. It will seem strange to most people
that this course was not pursued; but the scattering of
the collection has given about $45,000 worth of gratifica-
tion to the fortunate purchasers ; and, after all, whose
business is it ?—Tribune, August 3.
