[Transcriber’s Note:

The printed book had two kinds of headnote: keyword and mileage.

“Keyword” headers, noting the places and subjects mentioned on the page,
have been placed before the most appropriate paragraph.

Each itinerary gives the “miles from” {starting point} and “miles to”
{ending point}, with the numbers printed in the left and right corners
of each paragraph. For this e-text the numbers are shown in {braces}
before the beginning of each paragraph; the place names are given at
the beginning of the itinerary, and repeated as needed. Paragraphs
describing side excursions do not have mileage information.

The hotel rating symbols are explained at several random points in the
text, though not in the introductory section:
  Those with the figure ¹ are first-class houses, with ² second-class.
  The asterisk signifies that they are especially good of their class.

Errors and inconsistencies are listed at the end of the text.]

From “Scotsman,” June 2, 1884.

  “_C. B. Black’s Guide-books have a character of their own; and that
  character is a good one. Their author has made himself personally
  acquainted with the localities with which he deals in a manner in
  which only a man of leisure, a lover of travel, and an intelligent
  observer of Continental life could afford to do. He does not ‘get up’
  the places as a mere hack guide-book writer is often, by the necessity
  of the case, compelled to do. Hence he is able to correct common
  mistakes, and to supply information on minute points of much interest
  apt to be overlooked by the hurried observer._”
