Treves, Sir Frederick. Highways and byways of Dorset. $2. Macmillan.
“The praise of Dorset is the theme of this volume, in which Sir Frederick Treves tells us what most to admire in that pleasant land of green vales and breezy gorse-clad down, of purple heath and rocky coast.... In describing the highways and byways of Dorset he writes of places known to him from childhood ... and thus, with a facility which comes with knowledge, he sometimes gives us in a few lines a sketch of a spot which is so true that we overlook its slightness, and wish for no detailed description. This faculty makes ‘Highways and byways in Dorset’ something more than a glorified guidebook.”—Ath.
“The illustrations to the book are numerous, but unequal, and, on the whole, somewhat disappointing; some of them are trivial.”

“The author has a keen eye for picturesque anecdotes and antiquities. All this archaeology is borne up and carried along by an easy, flowing style, so it does not weigh upon the reader, and Pennell’s pen-sketches come just at the right time.”

“Mr. Pennell’s sketches serve as an admirable supplement to the great surgeon’s interesting narrative.”
