Lucas, Edward Verrall. [Wanderer in Holland.] [*]$1.75. Macmillan.
“The combination of Mr. Lucas as narrator with Mr. Herbert Marshall as illustrator has given us a charming volume.... It was a happy idea to intersperse photographs of some of the more famous Dutch pictures. Mr. Lucas is an admirable guide and visitors to Holland could not have a more agreeable commentator on their travels past or future.... He not only abounds in wise and quaint comments himself, but is the cause of our remembering the wisdom of others.”—Sat. R.
“‘A wanderer in Holland’ is, of course, no substitute for Murray or Baedeker, rather is it their essential complement.”

“If the success of a book of travels is to be measured by the travel-fever it excites in the veins of its readers, this volume should have a warm welcome.”

“And now we have found all the fault we care to find with this charming guide. To say that it ranks a long way after ‘The inland voyage’ is only to say that Stevenson is dead. We welcome in it a like sense of intimacy—it wears the face of a friend—it talks.”

[*] “Mr. Lucas makes no pretension to connoisseurship, but his untechnical remarks on pictures are nearly always interesting, and, to one reader at least, prove the most attractive part of his writing.”
