THE RHINE:
Its Scenery, and Historical and Legendary Associations.
BY FRED. KNIGHT HUNT.
This beautiful Volume is dedicated by Special Command to
Her Majesty.
The Rhine Book, by an arrangement entirely novel, seeks to separate the Romance of Travel from its Commonplace. Numerous Illustrations from original sketches, and all the attractions of the finest printing, render the volume worthy of the library, the drawing-room, or the boudoir, whilst it unites with its claims to elegance those points of practical usefulness necessary in a Guide Book. Dates, distances, times, and prices, are fully and exactly stated, to enable the Tourist to know and regulate his expenses at pleasure, and to avoid those extortions to which, when destitute of such information, he would most certainly be subject.
"Our perusal of the book enables us to say that it fully bears out this description of its contents. The information necessary for the comfort and convenience of the Tourist, down to the most minute particulars, is exact and satisfactory; and the general reader will find poetry, romance, and legendary lore sufficient to rouse his imagination and gratify his curiosity, though he should never visit the scenes to which they belong. The volume is richly embellished with vignettes representing the most remarkable objects and most picturesque features of scenery, executed with the beauty for which Mr. How's illustrated publications are so highly distinguished."—John Bull.
"We can with truth recommend this volume as combining more entertaining matter with a large quantity of really useful information than we have hitherto seen in any work on the Rhine."—Sunday Times.

THE OLD FOREST RANGER;
OR,
Wild Sports of India,
On the Neilgherry Hills, in the Jungles, and on the Plains. By Capt. Walter Campbell, of Skipness, late of the 7th Royal Fusileers. The Second Edition revised, with Eight Lithotint Plates, and several Woodcuts.
"A second edition in a twelvemonth is, in a not unimportant particular, highly intelligible criticism. And Captain Campbell deserves his success. A new subject, and very fresh and hearty treatment, are intelligible claims to it. His book describes the more exciting of the field sports of India. Tiger and boar hunting, deer stalking, bison and bear shooting, are among the perilous exploits and hair-breadth 'scapes of the adventurous forest ranger. It is a dainty-looking volume for such rough scenes, but the lithograph illustrations are full of character."—Examiner.
