Abstract
MR. SALISBURY'S book gives a pleasant account of a summer holiday in 1908, spent at Gryon in unambitious excursions among the limestone Alps of the western Oberland. The fine views of such mountains as the Diablerets and the Grand Muveran, in the immediate neighbourhood, and the magnificent gable-end of the Dent du Midi on the other side of the Rhone, as they rise above slopes of green pasture and dark pine-wood, make this an unusually attractive district.
