One Volume, 16mo, 600 Pages, $3.50.
In condensing into one volume what Baedeker could hardly comprise in nine, and Murray in fifteen, Professor Loomis has accomplished a herculean labor, which his countrymen should not be slow to recognize. With characteristic good sense, he has given only brief reference to routes, hotels, and cost, devoting his space to history, mythology, and art. He has met the work with a discrimination and intelligence which can hardly be too highly praised.
“Only words of praise can be spoken of this work.”
“The best and completest.”
“By all odds the best Guide I have ever seen.”
“And something better than a guide-book.”
“Almost a triumph of genius in bookmaking.”
