bound in 2 vols., cloth limp, 16s.

"The writer has recently visited Spain, accompanied by this little book, and found it in every sense most satisfactory. The facts are carefully collected, and put together in a simple easy-to-be-referred-to manner. Especially useful to the traveller is the index map at the commencement of the volume. It enabled us to discard Bradshaw, and thereby considerably lighten our luggage. The references to routes, hotels, and the general directions are all very reliable. The wines of the country, to none of which could our palate ever reconcile itself, have also had ample-perhaps too ample-justice done to them. A description of Portugal and the Balearic Islands has been added to the present edition, and considerably enhances its value."-European Mail.
