Abstract

(1)DR. MAHOOD'S “Banff” belongs to the best class of local guide-book. It is the result of a careful study of the area by a number of enthusiastic students; the bulk of the material has been collected by Dr. Mahood, of Duff House Hospital. Chapters have been contributed by various local authorities, and the whole has been condensed and edited by Dr. E. I. Spriggs, and its stores of information are rendered accessible by an excellent index. The book is a compendium of the geography, history, and antiquities of the district, and should add greatly to the profitable enjoyment of a stay there by any intelligent visitor; and, as it gives practical guidance to the special points of interest, it should stimulate the study of the local archaeology and natural history.
