Abstract
ALL readers who are familiar with this attractive series will welcome the most recent addition to it. The style of production, the illustrations and the spirit of the author will together ensure the volume a wide popularity. Mr. Vincent is never dull, and every aspect of the country side with which he is dealing—be it historical, geological, or sociological—is made to contribute something of interest. The book will certainly serve as an invaluable companion to the reader who decides to explore Berkshire for himself, telling him what spots to seek diligently and indicating the districts that may be treated lightly. The indolent man, who eschews travel as troublesome, will be able, without leaving his armchair by the fire, now that he can have the assistance of Messrs. Vincent and Griggs, thoroughly to enjoy Berkshire scenes, make the acquaintance of Berkshire men and women, and learn the importance of the county in English history.
