NEW PUBLICATIONS.

California of the South is a well-writ-
ten book by DIR. Walter Lindley and Dr. ].
2. Widney upon the physical geography,
climate, resources, routes of travel and
health resorts of Southern California. 1t is
profusely illustrated, and the engravings
are all of a superior order. The book is ap-
parently exhaustive in its treatment Of the
resources of the southern section of the
State. We have not had opportunity to ex-
anime the work as thoroughly as il is our
intention to do. Since it starts out with the
proposition that there are two CALIFORNIA;, F"
SO distinct in climate, products and people,
| that the result must be division into two
| States-a proposition with which we take
issue, further consideration of the book
| will be bad and a full review accorded it.
