Volkserbe der Schweiz. Six volumes in a series under this general title. Basel: Urs Graf Verlag, 1943-46. Price, $4.50 each.

Each of these six volumes deals with a separate canton. They are finely illustrated and, though they are not of the same series, uni­form with Glarnerland. Tessin, by Titus Burckhardt, describes sub­tropical Ticino, Switzerland’s largest territory south of the Alps. In Wallis the poet C. F. Ramuz does full justice to the Valais. W. Kern devotes two volumes under the title Graubunden to the drain­ages of the Inn and the Rhine within this canton. H. P. Klauser’s Appenzellerland describes the dairy country of northeastern Switzer­land, with its costumes and huge bells. Uri, by Leonard von Matt, covers the small canton east of the Lake of Lucerne, known for itsassociation with the legend of William Tell.
