Robert Smith Burtees, the writer of the famous Jorrocks stories, would like to have compiled just auch a record as Dr. Noel Davis has done. The compiler was Master of the Club for 5 years and is to be congratulated on his work. He has handled his subject with admir- able insight and sympathy, and, with the aid of Mr. Toeg, has produced a volume which should keep his memory green. The work has 95 illustrations in line and colour (the work of Edmund Toeg), and 6 large-scale maps of the riding country in and around Bhanghai, and numerous reproductions from rare photographs.
