Rev. J. VERNON; Geology, by Prof. EDWARD HULL, LL.D.; Cycling, by
DUNCAN TOVEY.
_Athenæum._--“He writes with ample knowledge and enthusiasm,
and the volume may be recommended as fully maintaining the high
reputation which the series has already gained.... Besides Mr.
Jerrold’s main narrative, which is strong on the antiquarian and
literary side, we have special articles ... which seem excellent.”
_Field._--“Something more than a guide book, though in that
direction it would be hard to beat, for while the author is an
enthusiast, and writes very pleasantly, he is far from unmindful
of those details which, though they may be commonplace, are very
valuable.”
NORFOLK. By WILLIAM A. DUTT, with Special Articles on: Birds, by
Rev. R. C. NIGHTINGALE; Botany, by H. D. GELDART; Entomology, by

and Fishing, by A. J. RUDD; Sea Fishing, by E. A. CROXON; Cycling,

_Academy._--“As near a model guide book as may be; the itineraries
are ample and well arranged, the maps good, and he discourses
pleasantly by the way of matters interesting to more than the mere
tourist.”
_Daily Chronicle._--“This little volume is so excellent as far as
it goes, has been written with so much cheeriness and love for the
Eastern county, is such a miracle of cheapness, and so exactly what
the tourist in Norfolk needs during his stay, that we can only
speak of it with cordial praise and admiration.”
HAMPSHIRE WITH THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
By GEORGE A. B. DEWAR, with Special Articles on: Botany, by JOHN
VAUGHAN; Entomology, by G. M. A. HEWETT; Birds, by G. B. CORBIN;
Geology, by Prof. EDWARD HULL, LL.D.; Fishing and Shooting, by the
EDITOR; Cycling, by W. M. HARMAN.
_Athenæum._--“_After a wide and practical experience of guide-books
for nearly forty years, we have no hesitation in saying that it is
the best of its size (350 pp.) that we have as yet seen. It is a
book that the general antiquary or lover of Nature as well as the
country resident will delight to have on their shelves._”
