    W *+W " Hhhe Time Has Once More Arrived ...

    for invading attractive rural districts and hospitable foreign lands . The average

    Englishman has come to consider the annual scamper in search of novelty and recreation to be as

    necessary and inevitable a part of his existence as the penny 'bus or the Christmas

    pantomime . Year by year , too , the attractions for the tourist are rapidly increasing , so that it is

    ever becoming more and more difficult to decide to what point of the compass to turn

    in pursuit of pleasure , * Where shall we go ?' is a question thab is frequently heard in the

    beginning of summer . ' Shall we explore rural England , or go to Wales , or to Scotland , or to

    Killarney and the Giant's Causeway , or shall we go further afield and climb the Alps , or sun

    ourselves in Italy , or shall we take a still longer trip and try the Congo and

    Timbuctoo ? ' The wide choice makes these questions hard to answer , but happily the

    tourist is not left helpless . It has been said that novels have become indispensable to the

    modern world ; with at least as much truth might it be said that Guide-Books have

    become indispensable . In this season they are our comforters , counsellors , and friends ,

    disposing of many a vexatious puzzle for us , and setting our feet in the path wherein we

    should walk—or rather steam . A reference to the present number and to one or two

    preceding numbers of the Publishers' Circular will show tourists that their wants have been

    anticipated with more than usual fulness , and that if they do not succeed in spending a

    pleasant holiday it certainly will be from no lack of intelligent instruction regarding where

    to go , what to do , and what to see .
