Mr. Alfred Rimmer's "About England with Dickens" belongs to a class of books which are very popular in the present day. Taking one or other of Dickens' romances for his text, the author proceeds to identify the scenes of their most remarkable incidents, and to supply all the information obtainable, topographical, antiquarian, &c., about the places supposed, with more or less probability, to be so identified.

There are fifty-eight excellent illustrations by the author himself, and by Mr. Vanderhoof. - The Westminster Review , Vol. 120
