Leicestershire | Nature

ABSTRACT AN interesting description of the many features of interest in Leicestershire is given in this book by pen and photograph. In the opening chapters the position, general features,

rivers, and watersheds of the county are described. Its geology, natural history, and an account of its climatic conditions follow. Four chapters are then devoted to the people of

Leicestershire and their industries, stress being laid on the increase of grassland as opposed to arable farming. The remainder of the book deals with the history and antiquities of the

county, and the concluding chapter is a useful index to its chief towns and villages. Instructive diagrams, showing graphically the proportions of the acreage of the principal crops, form a

brief appendix. - The book is throughout well illustrated by interesting photographs and sketch-maps. Leicestershire. G. N. Pingriff By. Pp. xii + 164. (Cambridge: At the University Press,
