“Mr. Miltoun ... might have called his book ‘The automobilist’s hotel abroad,’ for in his running commentary on the roads and routes of Europe he lays special emphasis upon the methods of catering to motorists, and he has no hesitancy in mentioning by name the good and inferior inns one may meet in different towns.... The European motorist will find considerable practical information in the closing chapters of the book. One gives a short account of the leading European races and winners; another tells how to join the touring club of France, and another gives a comprehensive digest of the automobile regulations, custom duties, and methods of securing drivers’ licenses and registrations in different countries.”—N. Y. Times.
“Mr. Miltoun’s enthusiasm for the motor-car, however, does not overbalance the practical and practicable problems of touring abroad. Every point of such a tour ... is adequately and interestingly recounted by the author of this book.” H. E. Coblentz.

“While not exactly an automobilist’s vade mecum, it contains all the essential elements of a motor guide through Europe, presented through the medium of a personal and very practical experience.”
