Or in Four Sections separately , viz .: — Keswick—Windermere and Langdale—Coniston , Buttermere , and Wastwater—Grasmere and Ullswater . Paper covers , Is . 6 d . each . 1 care "which ]\ Tr . Jenkinson lias expended on the -work is remarkable . It would seem , that whenever a doubt could be solved by a "walk of fifty or a hundred miles , he has not hesitated to take it . The result of his labour is apparent on every page . The general arrangement of the volume iaadmirable ; the maps are good ; but perhaps the most striking feature of the book—a feature , indeed , which distinguishes it from almost all other guides—is the clear and careful manner in which the traveller is directed over mountain-paths and sheep-tracks , through lonely valleys and across desolate moors .

Or in Five Sections separately , viz .:- — Chester—Llandudno—Bettws-y-Coed and Snowdon—Dolgelly and Bala—Aberystwith and Llangollen . Paper covers , Is . 6 d . each . * This new Guide to North "Wales is marked by the same conscientiousness , clearness , and minute detail which have rendered his previous works so valuable to the tourist . Every inch of the ground described has been gone over by himself ; he has taken equal pains to master all the aspects of his subject as in previous cases , he displays the same keen perception of the beauties that ought to be attended to , and he shows himself to be quite as delightful and sympathetic a companion as ever . As in former guide-books by the same author , the directions are so clear as to be unmistakable to the meanest capacity , and whoever goes over the ground in the genial and intelligent company of Mr . Jenkinson will return home not only a wiser and stronger man , but will have become master of an experience that will be to him a joy for ever /—Times . THE ISLE OP MAN , 5 s .
