REVIEWS AND BOOK NOTICES. 
How to Forecast the Weather, by J. H. Elgie. London : Holden 
•& Hardingham, 144 pp., is. net. In this case the author knows what he 
is talking about, and gives a pleasantly written little book which will 
be profitable to peruse. 
Rocks and Their Origins, by G. A. J. Cole. London : Cambridge 
University Press. 175 pp., 4s. net. We have pleasure in drawing 
attention to the fact that this handy little volume has reached its second 
edition. It is unnecessary to recommend anything written by that 
charming writer, Professor Grenville Cole. 
T’ ill an’ T’ oade uns upuv Greenho’ , by H. J. L. Bruff . York : 
T. A. J. Waddington, 108 pp., 3s. 6d... net. An admirable little volume 
of good dialect stories, . which incidentally give considerable insight 
into the former manners and customs of the inhabitants of the village of 
Greenhow, which is between Nidderdale and Wharfedale. 
Everybody’s Book of Geology, by E. G. Fenner. London : 
Holden & Hardingham, 144 pp., is. net. Fortunately this book is very 
cheap, otherwise we could hardly recommend it. It might have been 
passable without the illustrations, which we understand have been draw 
by the author from his own specimens. They are very poor indeed. 
Sea and Shore Birds, and How to Identify Them, by R. H. W. 
Hodges. London : The Epworth Press, 64 pp., is. 6d. net. This little 
volume contains a wonderful. series of- illustrations of Auks, Terns, Gulls, 
Skuas, Waders a Geese, Ducks, Cormorants and Gannets, Petrels, and 
Divers, together with quite good descriptions and their plumage, nests, 
eggs, etc. 
Heredity : in the Light of Recent Research, by L. Doncaster. 
London : Cambridge University Press. X.-F163 PP-» 4s. net. The fact 
that this volume has reached its third edition is sufficient to recommend it. 
The Cambridge Press has been particularly far-seeing in securing first-rate 
works of this kind. Our only regret is that the talented author is no 
longer with us. 
Motoring in the North of England, by G. G. Harper. London : 
E. J. Burrow & Co., xxviii.-f- 184 pp., 2s. net. This volume is issued 
under the auspices of the Royal Automobile Club and has been specially 
prepared to meet the requirements of the average tourist. It has several 
good illustrations from photographs, sketches, maps, and other in- 
formation suitable for the motorist. 
Through Yorkshire, by Gordon Home. London : Dent & Sons. 
X. + 182 pp., 2s . net. We have long treasured some of Mr.. Gordon 
Home’s larger volumes dealing with the beauties of our county, and in 
the present book he seems to have brought together, by the aid of photo- 
graph and pencil, the best that the broad-acred shire can produce. The 
publishers have done their part well, and the volume is certainly one of 
the cheapest and best we know on the subject. 
The World about Us : a Study in Geographical Environment, by 
O. J. R. Howarth. London : Clarendon Press, 94 pp., 2s. 6d. net. 
In this little volume the Secretary of the British Association gives some 
interesting geographical talks on original lines. In the eight chapters, 
after dealing with the Globe as a whole, he comes down to the district 
round Sevenoaks, which he knows so well, and concludes with ‘what is 
the use of all this ? ’ He also answers the question. 
Naturalism in English Poetry , by Stop ford A . Brooke . London : 
Dent & Sons, 254 pp., is. 9d. net. This charming little volume contains 
a series of lectures delivered by the Rev. Stopford Brooke at the Uni- 
versity College, London, a little while ago. They will be exceedingly 
welcome in their present form . The chapters are headed : Dryden and 
Pope ; Young and Thomson ; Collins and Gray ; The French Revolution 
and the Poets who Preceded It ; Crabbe and Cowper ; Robert Burns ; 
Wordsworth, the Poet of Nature ; Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron ; The 
Poetry of Shelley.
