Abstract
THIS is a beautiful book, the sepia illustrations alone giving it a delightful character. They are reproductions of photographs, not by the author but by well-known Alpine photographers, including his celebrated father, ]mile Gos. There are two prefaces by climbing friends, Mr. Geoffrey Winthrop Young and M. F. Regaut, president of the French Alpine Club, who was also the commander of the Alpine Corps, the famous ‘Diables Bleus,’ in the War. It may be that many would prefer a simple preface by the author himself, but that feeling is tempered by the pleasure which anything written by Mr. Young on his favourite subject must convey, and by the fact that the camaraderie of the War, in which the author served in the Alpine Corps under M. Regaut, has evoked highly interesting reminiscences of the great struggle from the latter in the course of his preface.
