English fiction -- 19th century; Short stories, English
"Our perusal of the book enables us to say that it fully bears
out this description of its contents. The information necessary
for the comfort and convenience of the Tourist, down to the most
minute particulars, is exact and satisfactory; and the general
reader will find poetry, romance, and legendary lore sufficient
to rouse his imagination and gratify his curiosity, though he
should never visit the scenes to which they belong. The volume is
richly embellished with vignettes representing the most remarkable
objects and most picturesque features of scenery, executed with the
beauty for which Mr. How's illustrated publications are so highly
distinguished."—_John Bull._
"We can with truth recommend this volume as combining more
entertaining matter with a large quantity of really useful
information than we have hitherto seen in any work on the
Rhine."—_Sunday Times._

TOM RACQUET AND HIS THREE MAIDEN
AUNTS.
With a Word or Two about "The Whittleburys."
BY CHARLES W. MANBY.
_Square Royal, Price One Guinea, in scarlet cloth, richly gilt._
THE OLD FOREST RANGER;
OR,
Wild Sports of India,
On the Neilgherry Hills, in the Jungles, and on the Plains. By Capt.
WALTER CAMPBELL, of Skipness, late of the 7th Royal Fusileers. The
Second Edition revised, with Eight Lithotint Plates, and several
Woodcuts.
"A second edition in a twelvemonth is, in a not unimportant
particular, highly intelligible criticism. And Captain Campbell
deserves his success. A new subject, and very fresh and hearty
treatment, are intelligible claims to it. His book describes the
more exciting of the field sports of India. Tiger and boar hunting,
deer stalking, bison and bear shooting, are among the perilous
exploits and hair-breadth 'scapes of the adventurous forest ranger.
It is a dainty-looking volume for such rough scenes, but the
lithograph illustrations are full of character."—_Examiner._
