Cook, Joel. Switzerland; picturesque and descriptive. [**]$2.40. Coates.
A book designed for students and tourists, as well as general lovers of fine book workmanship. Six sections of Switzerland are covered—Western Switzerland, Eastern Switzerland, the Upper Rhine, the Middle Rhine, the great Rhine gorge, and the Lower Rhine, and in addition to the descriptive matter, there are numerous half-tone illustrations. He opens with a rapid survey of the history of the Swiss confederation, followed by descriptions of the Lake of Geneva, Lausanne, Vevey, and Montreux, coming next to the Castle of Chillon.
“He has here attempted to do for Switzerland what he has already done for America, England, and France, by emphasizing with personal impressions those points of human interest which usually receive mere perfunctory notice in the guide books.”
