IL the British West Indies and Tourists
Companion. By Owen I. Buckley. lion
Gon Sam 'SOn Low, MarSton, Searle, and
RivlngtOn, Limited, 1887
Since Mr.. Froude wrote on the West
Indies, numerous books and pamphlets
nave been produced, either to show hs
was entirely wrong, Or to supplement- in
some important particular the Information
he gave respecting these islands. The
author of the little book before us took
note of Mr.. FrOude's lament that all hand.
books to the West Indies ''were equally
barren Of facts connected with the high.
err interest which The islands possess for
Engiishmen, and he seeks to supply the
efficiency. Although it is evident that
MIR. Buckley has not an intimate know.

is no great disparagement-especially
when we recall their comparative isola.

exists even in the West Indies themselves
il regard to the afeirS of their neigh.
b0urS. The facts stated are generally
lrust worthy, and hints given to visi.
tors and intending settlers are likely to
be useful. There are a moderately good
map and some twenty illustrations, most
OF which, however, are already familiar to
us. Although usually grouped together,
the several islands in the Lesser Antilles
differ much more from each other than is
usually supposed. One end Of the chain.
at the Virgin Island, touches 1870 N. lat,
while the other end at Trinidad is in
100 n. lat. Hence, the extreme points of
the Lesser Antilles are about SIX hundred
miles apart, ard there is such u diversity
of soil and climate that each island really
requires separate treatment. There is still
much misconception in the mind of tho
British public as regards the healthinesS
of these islands, and also as regards their
suitability for settlers with "a small capital.
If there were sOme one III this country
whose business it was to give accurate in.
formation respecting the West Indies,
they would probably be greatly benefit
ed. The revival Df interest in these
islands, and the large number of people
who annually visit them, are facts which
have naturally led to the production
Of p guide-bOOk. Mr.. Buckley has,
however, aimed at producing something
more than Il guide-bOok. The greater
part of The volume is devoted to a
minute description OF the principal features,
and the circumstances of the several
islands, and this is followed By information
for attending settlers, with the view of in.
ducing those no have capital to invest
