THE END.
GLASGOW:
EDWARD KHULL, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY.
M’PHUN’S
SERIES OF POCKET GUIDES.
Tastefully done up, gilt edges, price 1s. 6d. sewed, and 2s. bound.
The object the publisher had in view in projecting these little works was to produce a Series of distinct Treatises on all subjects of general interest—in the smallest possible compass, and at the smallest possible price. How far he has been successful in carrying into effect what he projected, may be learned in the gratifying fact, that since the first appearance of the series in 1834, upwards of
TWENTY THOUSAND COPIES
have been purchased by the public. From this it will be seen the Editor of the Dumfries Courier, in reviewing them, was not far wrong in saying the publisher was “the most extensive Pocket Guide Book maker in the three Kingdoms.” In his usual happy style he added they were the best exemplification he had seen of the best maxim of the Bentham school, viz.—the maximum of utility in the minimum of space.
The Tourist’s Guide, and the Guide to the Picturesque Scenery of Scotland, are books that have been much wanted. They do not profess to give a detailed History of Scotland, nor yet a detailed History of the Highlands, like all their predecessors in this department of literature, but to Guide the Tourist to all that is worthy of his admiration. A very minute description of this is given; and that is all that one wants when they set out on a travelling excursion. Their size adapts them peculiarly for this purpose; they are hand books, in fact, that cannot incommode a lady in her reticule, or a gentleman in his vest pocket.
