      From Mr . W . H . Luke , Plymouth . —' Amid Devonia ' s Alps , ' by William Crossing .

      Illustrated . A series of chatty papers on Dartmoor , written by a pedestrian who claims to have explored it in all directions . Mr . Crossing has

      been accustomed to roam ' Amid Devonia ' s Alps' since boyhood , and he declares that some

      of the happiest days of his life have been spent in rambles on the breezy •/ and p icturesque A

      moor . Tristram Risdon , the Devonshire ^^ topographer of the seventeenth century , termed Dartmoor the * mother of many rivers , ' and the title was merited . The chief streams are the

      Dart , the Teign , the Avon , the Erme , the Yealm , and the Plj ~ ra , all of which fall into the English Channelthe Tavywhich joins the Tamar

      ; , near 8 altash , also finds its way to the Channel , whilst the Taw flows northwards , and finds an outlet at Barostaple Bay . In Mr . Crossing ' s

      modestly written narrative a great many interesting and curious facts are given , and the only fault which we have to find with the book

      is the absence of a map of the district . From Messrs . Macmillan & Co . —* The

      Armourer ' s Prentices' forms the new volume of the cheap and handsome illustrated edition ¦¦ of Miss Charlotte M . Yonge ' s "works . The story

      was originally published in 1884 , and was reprinted first in 1886 , and then in 1887 .
