A Satchel Guide for the Vacation Tourist in Europe (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from A Satchel Guide for the Vacation Tourist in Europe

We have had in mind also the wants of the pedes trian, and have told him where it will pay him well to walk, and where he cannot afford to do it. This is a new feature in an American guide-book, and it has been carefully worked up. The author has tried most of the tramps that he recommends as well as some that he advises the reader not to attempt.

Excerpt from A Satchel Guide for the Vacation Tourist in Europe

For this tenth annual edition the book has been carefully examined, and such changes and corrections as were necessary to bring the information contained in it fully up to date (March 1, 1881), have been made. The editor believes that the revised "Guide" will be found in all respects true to its name, and a trustworthy vade mecum for the vacation tourist of 1881.

The editor would repeat his acknowledgments to friends and correspondents for information and suggestions that have been of material service to him in the work of revision. He trusts that they will continue to aid him in the same way. Many of the details of the book are anything but "constant quantities," and it would be remarkable if some changes in them did not occur without his receiving prompt intelligence thereof. A hotel may be shut up, or a new proprietor may give it a new name, or in some cases its character may become better or worse; the days or the hours of admission to a museum or picture-gallery may be changed, or an art collection may be transferred from one building to another; and a new edition of the "Guide" may be printed before the editor hears of the alteration.
