Abstract
THAT this little pocket-book meets the requirements of travellers is shown by the fact that this is the nineteenth edition that has been issued. The success of such a companion depends mainly on the arrangement and scope of the material which it contains, and on these points it seems difficult to suggest any improvements. This edition is divided into fourteen distinct but comprehensive groups of subjects, each one containing exclusively those words and phrases which naturally belong to each section. Great pains seem to have been taken to bring the information up to date, motoring, for example, having quite a large part devoted to it. The Britisher is equally helped in either French, German, or Italian, and such a vade mecum as is here presented should be found of great service to everyone who crosses the Channel.
