LITERATURE.

A Guide to the Coast of Sussex.
A Guide to the Coasts of Hants and Dorset.
A Guide to the Coasts of Devon and Cornwall.

A Guide to the Coast of Kent.
By Mackenzie Walcott, M.A., author of " Cathe-
drals of England and Wales," &c. Stanford,
Charing-cross.

The great, practical convenience of small pocket
guides to the tourist and traveller has long been
generally acknowledged, and those before us be-
long to the best of their class., They describe the
scenery, give the historical, legendary, and archeo-
logical 'associations, a list of the rides, walks, and
places for excursions in the neighbourhood of all
the chief town& and •principal localities along the
coast. The motto has been happily selected from no
less an authority than Bacon—" If you will have a
man to put his travel into a little room, and in a
short time to gather much, let him carry with him
some card or book describing the country where he
travelleth. which will be a good key to his in-
quiry." The value of this advice does no discredit
to the sound sense of the philosopher, as a tourist,
unacquainted with the place he visits, may have
the mortification of discovering, on his return home,
that he has overlooked places of historical note, or
beautiful scenery, accessible by an easy walk or drive.
The volume& before us form part of a series of hand-
books which are designed to illustrate the more
southern coast of England, from the Reculvers to the
Land's End. The writer confesses that he has
undertaken the ambitious task of persuading his
readers that their own country has superior attrac-
tions for them than the continent possesses, since as
he asserts, many wander, ignorant of foreign lan-
guages, and unfamiliar with the history of the
places visited. Those who do not fully appreciate
the advantages of their own country will do well
to provide themselves with these little handbooks,
which are sufficiently attractive to tempt the idler
from his domicile, and will materially assist the
more active and adventurous traveller.
