“We could not do better than consult one of these cheap Handbooks.”—Times.
“Those Half-Holiday Handbooks are very useful. But why not ‘Whole Holiday Pocket Books,’ showing where to go, when to go, and how to go it? If Mr. Fisher Unwin doesn’t look sharp, we shall have this series out ourselves about Whitsuntide.”—Punch.
“Will be a boon to the weary Londoner, anxious to commune with nature.”—The Inquirer.
“Capital guides to walks in the districts.”—Daily Chronicle.
“A pleasant and convenient series of books for the guidance of the pedestrian.”—Literary World.
“An idea with which we and our fellow-naturalists heartily sympathise. The series is one marked by that feeling for nature which it is so desirable to extend.”—“H. W., in Bayswater Chronicle.
“The publishers have hit upon a good idea in their Half-Holiday Handbooks, which are likely to become popular favourites.”—Graphic.
“The publishers have done well in issuing these little readable manuals for the guidance of the Londoner, who, pent up all the week over his desk, or otherwise debarred from the sight of more natural objects than city sparrows, seeks in the short space granted him by the Saturday half-holiday movement, or on the feast-days of St. Lubbock, that closer acquaintance with the rural delights so necessary for his bodily and mental health. It is, of course, impossible in the short space of some seventy or eighty small pages to do more than indicate the chief attractions of localities so pleasant by nature as those above named; but these are very fairly set forth, and being illustrated by sections of a map on the scale of nearly one and a half miles to the inch, will be found of decided utility to the pedestrian in search of an object.”—The Field.
“Fulfil their purpose thoroughly as a tourist’s companions in his rambles about districts within a short distance from London.”—Bookseller.
“They combine the useful information of the hackneyed local guide-book with something which is rarer and more difficult to present—the fostering of a love of nature and the kindling of some enthusiasm for the objects generally passed unheeded by the run of holiday excursionists, because they have had no chance of learning how to observe, nor have tasted the delights of it. . . . The information is very closely packed, and justice is done to the lovely scenery and scientific novelties of the neighbourhood. The books are certainly cheap and well got up.”—Nonconformist.
“The best guides of the kind we have yet seen.”—Lund and Water.
“Will be found to add much interest to a Saturday afternoon walk into the country.”—Nature.
“Should achieve a wide popularity.”—Court Circular.
“All models of what a gossiping guide-book should be.”—South London Press.
