=Derbyshire.= By J. B. FIRTH. With Illustrations by NELLY ERICHSEN.
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--"The result is altogether delightful, for 'Derbyshire' is as attractive to the reader in his arm-chair as to the tourist wandering amid the scenes Mr. Firth describes so well."
* =Devon and Cornwall.= By ARTHUR H. NORWAY. With Illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL and HUGH THOMSON.
_DAILY CHRONICLE._--"So delightful that we would gladly fill columns with extracts were space as elastic as imagination.... The text is excellent: the illustrations of it are even better."

* =East Anglia.= By WILLIAM A. DUTT. With Illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL.
_WORLD._--"Of all the fascinating volumes in the 'Highways and Byways' series, none is more pleasant to read.... Mr. Dutt, himself an East Anglian, writes most sympathetically and in picturesque style of the district."

* =Kent.= By WALTER JERROLD. With Illustrations by HUGH THOMSON.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"A book over which it is a pleasure to pore, and which every man of Kent or Kentish man, or 'foreigner,' should promptly steal, purchase, or borrow.... The illustrations alone are worth twice the money charged for the book."
* =Lake District.= By A. G. BRADLEY. With Illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL.
_ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE._--"A notable edition--an engaging volume, packed with the best of all possible guidance for tourists. For the most part the artist's work is as exquisite as anything of the kind he has done."

_GRAPHIC._--"Mrs. Cook is an admirable guide; she knows her London in and out; she is equally at home in writing of Mayfair and of City courts, and she has a wealth of knowledge relating to literary and historical associations. This, taken together with the fact that she is a writer who could not be dull if she tried, makes her book very delightful reading."
=Middlesex.= By WALTER JERROLD. With Illustrations by HUGH THOMSON.
_EVENING STANDARD._--"Every Londoner who wishes to multiply fourfold the interest of his roamings and excursions should beg, borrow, or buy it without a day's delay."
* =Normandy.= By PERCY DEARMER, M.A. With Illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL. [_Pocket Edition only._
_ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE._--"A charming book.... Mr. Dearmer is as arrestive in his way as Mr. Pennell. He has the true topographic eye. He handles legend and history in entertaining fashion."

* =Oxford and the Cotswolds.= By H. A. EVANS. With Illustrations by FREDERICK L. GRIGGS.
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._--"The author is everywhere entertaining and fresh, never allowing his own interest to flag, and thereby retaining the close attention of the reader."

* =Sussex.= By E. V. LUCAS. With Illustrations by FREDERICK L. GRIGGS.
_WESTMINSTER GAZETTE._--"A delightful addition to an excellent series.... Mr. Lucas's knowledge of Sussex is shown in so many fields, with so abundant and yet so natural a flow, that one is kept entertained and charmed through every passage of his devious progress."
* =North Wales.= By A. G. BRADLEY. With Illustrations by HUGH THOMSON and JOSEPH PENNELL.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"To read this fine book makes us eager to visit every hill and every valley that Mr. Bradley describes with such tantalising enthusiasm. It is a work of inspiration, vivid, sparkling, and eloquent--a deep well of pleasure to every lover of Wales."
=South Wales.= By A. G. BRADLEY. With Illustrations by FREDERICK L. GRIGGS.
_SPECTATOR._--"Mr. Bradley has certainly exalted the writing of a combined archæological and descriptive guide-book into a species of literary art. The result is fascinating."
* =Wiltshire.= By EDWARD HUTTON. With Illustrations by NELLY ERICHSEN.
_DAILY GRAPHIC._--"Replete with enjoyable and informing reading.... Illustrated by exquisite sketches."
* =Yorkshire.= By ARTHUR H. NORWAY. With Illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL and HUGH THOMSON.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--"The wonderful story of Yorkshire's past provides Mr. Norway with a wealth of interesting material, which he has used judiciously and well; each grey ruin of castle and abbey he has re-erected and re-peopled in the most delightful way. A better guide and story-teller it would be hard to find."
