Literature
LITERATURE
It is the custom with tho proprietors of some of our periodicals to issue a holiday as well as a Christmas numbor . And a very good custom it is , for people want some pleasant , light literature to help them to pass the time comfortably when travelling , or to wile away the frequent intervals of leisure they are sure to have when staying at their favourite inland or seaside resort . The Belgravia is one of the few
magazines which follow this laudable custom , and the Holiday Bel . gravia Numbm- is certainly a very admirable specimen of its kind . The stories it contains are all of them worth reading . " The Mystery of St . Eemi , " by Henry Kingsley , heads the list , and is followed by " Wiuifred ' s Lovers . " Tho other tales aud papers are equally
readable , " The Scarlet Cloak , " " A Bold Stroke , " " Anglo-Indian Photographs , " and " A Night of Terror , " being worthy of special commend , ation . Thero aro several illustrations ; and , indeed , taking the whole number through , we have every reason to be satisfied with the light and enjoyable pabulum it offers .
Eailway Guides are not generally attractive reading , but during the last two or three years several of the leading Companies have been in the habit of issuing a novel kind of Guide , such , for instance , as the London , Chatham , and Dover Railway Panoramic Guide , a copy of which has recently been sent to us . It contains , in the first place , an excellent map of the country which the line traverses ; and , in the
next , full historical notices of all tho places on the line at which there is a station , with further interesting details of places in their several vicinities , which it is considered worth the while of the tourist to visit . This portion of the Guide has been compiled with great care , and , consequently , the information which is furnished is both
valuablo and entertaining . A few years since , and the notion that any sort of Eailway Guide might be made attractive wonld havo been laughed to 3 Com . Now tho idea has been realised , as witness this London , Chatham , and Dover Panoramic Guide , prico sixpence , and a most excellent and nsfnl sispennyworfch it undoubtedly is ,
