Abstract
IT is unnecessary to praise the charming series to which this book is the latest addition. Mr. Parker's volume will appeal in an especial manner to Londoners, who are within easy access of the delights of which he writes; and it may be hoped that the descriptions of Surrey's natural beauties and historic interests will encourage town dwellers to explore neighbouring counties for themselves. Mr. Parker has many useful hints to students of nature as to the favourite habitats of special plants and animals; and the sportsman, too, will find some guidance of the kind he desires. The sketches make it possible to appreciate the beauty of the highways and byways in Surrey without visiting them.
