A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN
NORWAY, THE CHANNEL 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. Fos
intending visitors to Norway especially, ➢ir. 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 remembrancer."

" Fjord, _lsle, 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 avast 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 'lack ' 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 styl , and is well `got up.' "
tastern 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.
