Newell of Jullundur Cantonment deserves to be heartily congratulated on his happy idea of assisting tourists and travellers with hints and suggestions as to how to manage their sight-seeing in principal cities. This he has done by issuing a series of handy and well written guide books. It is not all tourists who know what to see and how to see and even those who know these labour under a great disadvantage in that they know nothing of the topography of the place. Not unoften are visitors constrained to waste time energy and money over their itinerary. Instead of enjoying the sights they come to see they even find the tours uncomfortable and vexatious. Much of this is due to want of information as to places they propose to visit and want of knowledge as to method and arrangement in their programme. Major Newell's guides supply these wants and are a great help to tourists. Being models of clearness and brevity they are admirably adapted to the needs of tourists. The guides are elegantly printed on art paper by Higginbothams LD. of Madras and Bangalore and are accompanied with maps. Higginbothams LD. hardcover
