Their author has made himself personally acquainted with the localities with which he deals in a manner in which only a man of leisure, a lover of travel, and an intelligent observer of Continental life could afford to do.

The Route from Paris to Marseilles, for example, does equally well for Marseilles to Paris. The _Distance_ of towns from the place of starting to the terminus is expressed by the figures which accompany them on each side of the margin; while the distance of any two towns on the same route from each other is found by subtracting their marginal figures on either side from each other. In the _Description_ of towns the places of interest have been taken in the order of their position, so that, if a cab be engaged, all that is necessary is to mention to...
