Tonic for Plain-Dwellers Beauty and Discomfort Tu HiMALAYAN JOURNAL Records of the Himalayan Club. Vol. X 1928 Edited by Kenneth Mason. Clarendon Press, Oxford. 8/- or Rs, 5.
Though primarily intended for members of the Himalayan Club, this Journal, because of its appeal to ait lovers of the hills, must undoubtedly interest a much wider circle. Geologists, botanists, geographers, all will find something suited to their respective tastes, and, though the scientist is well catered for and the technical expert is given his fill, there is still ample to satisfy their lay-brother, who, trudging over the hills of his native heath, does not know through what particular geological formation he is passing or to which genus the flowers beneath his feet belong, but is nevertheless happy because of the serenity of spirit which is the special gift of the mountain Gods to the traveller in their domains.
