WALKS AND PEOPLE IN TUSCANY. By 



Sir Francis Vane, Bart. With numerous 

 Illustrations by Stephen Haweis and S. 

 Garstin Harvey. Crown 8vo. 5^. net. 



*„,* This hook treats of many walks and cycle rides, 

 practically describing, if not co-icring, the whole of 

 Tuscany. It has been written with the especial object 

 of setting before the reader not only the characteristics 

 of the landscape, but no less the ifihabitants of all 

 classes, whom the author encountered. Not only, how- 

 ever, does he describe the people afid the scenety, but he 

 has placed on record his thoughts about them in a frank 

 and bold manner. The author also has a cotisiderable 

 acquaintance with history, heraldry and genealogy, 

 which proves usefttl to him in dealing zvith the social 

 system of Italy in the past and of to-day. The general 

 scheme of the work is to take the two centres, Florence 

 the capital, and the siiinmer resort, Bagi de Lucca, and 

 he has made his expeditions from these, consequently cover- 

 ing with an effective network of raids the inountains 

 and valleys between. 



BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. By Maud M. 

 HoLBACH. With 48 Illustrations by Otto 

 HoLBACH and a Map. Uniform with " Dal- 

 matia." Crown Svo. ^s. net. 



*^* This interesting companion volume to Mrs. 

 Ilolbach's "Dalmatia" will appeal to a xvider public 

 than did its forei-tinner, for political eve?tts recently 

 awakened a world interest in this part of the Balkans, 

 and, now that peace is restored, doubtless many travellers 

 will want to visit the scenes where history has so recently 

 been made, and welcome the author's guidance to what 

 is best worth seeing in this part of the Near East. Nor 

 is ''Bosnia" lacking in interest for those who stay at 

 home, for the author has as happy a knack of making 

 her pen pictures real as her husband of interpreting 

 the life of a country through the medium of his camera, 

 so that those who cannot go to Bos?iia in person will not 

 have much difficully in transplanting themselves thither 

 in imagination as they turn the pages of this bright 

 little book.
