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.
