Founder's Court, Lothbury, London FOR THE VACATION TOURIST IN EUROPE, A COMPACT ITINERARY OF THE BRITISH ISLES, WITH MAPS. EDITION FOR 18S1. BOSTON: HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND COMPANY. LONDON: LOCKWOOD & Co., 7 STATIONER'S HALL 1881. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1873 by Hurd and HOUGHTON, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington. RIVERSIDE, CAMBRIDGE: STEREOTYPED AND PRINTED BY H. O. HOUGHTON AND company, NOTE TO THE TENTH EDITION. FOR this tenth annual edition the book has been carefully examined, and such changes and corrections as were necessary to bring the information contained in it fully up to date (March 1, 1881), have been made. The editor believes that the revised "Guide" will be found in all respects true to its name, and a trustworthy vade mecum for the vacation tourist of 1881. The editor would repeat his acknowledgments to friends and correspondents for information and suggestions that have been of material service to him in the work of revision. He trusts that they will continue to aid him in the same way. Many of the details of the book are anything but "constant quantities," and it would be remarkable if some changes in them did not occur without his receiving prompt intelligence thereof. A hotel may be shut up, or a new proprietor may give it a new name, or in some cases its character may become better or worse; the days or the hours of admission to a museum or picturegallery may be changed, or an art collection may be transferred from one building to another; and a new edition of the "Guide" may be printed before the editor hears of the alteration. He will be grateful for information on any of these minutiæ, no less than for the correction of more serious errors, should such be detected. The guide-books published in Europe are not revised every year. A large edition is printed, and until this is sold off no revision is made. New editions of Baedeker's "Guides" - the most convenient and the most trustworthy of their class are published at intervals ranging from three to six years and the same is true of Murray's well-known "Handbooks." The editor of this Satchel Guide means to keep up his original plan of a yearly revision, hoping thereby to make the little book more serviceable to the tourist. He is grateful for the encouragement he has already received, and will strive to deserve the continued favor of the travelling public. Letters intended for the editor may be addressed to Editor of Satchel Guide, Riverside Press, Cambridge, Mass. |
