NOTES OF TRAVEL IN NORTHERN EUROPE.
BY Charles A. Sumner. New York: 4. J. Gra-
ham,
Books Of travel in Europe do not often, in
these days, contain much that is new. Their
interest is proportionate to the skill of the au-
thor in telling what he has seen differently
from the hundreds who have told the story be-
fore him. Mr.. Sumner writes spciy and en-
tertainingly, and confines himself chiefly to the
Scandinavian countries, which lie outside the
well-beaten path of the European tourist and
offer fresher field for his pen. His book is
not pretentious one, but is none the less read
able.
