POCKET-GUIDE TO EUROPE EDITED BY EDMUND C. STEDMAN AND THOMAS L. STEDMAN NEW YORK WILLIAM R. JENKINS CO. 48TH ST. AND SIXTH AVE. LONDON BAILLIÈRE, TINDALL & COX COPYRIGHT, 1898, 1899, 1905, WILLIAM R. JENKINS All Rights Reserved PRINTED BY THE NEW YORK --6-39 NOTE BY THE EDITORS. THIS book has been for many years before the pub lic, and is thoroughly tested by increasing use among travellers through the portions of Europe gen erally covered in a single tour. It resulted from ob servation of the trials undergone by those equipped with the larger and more cumbrous handbooks. We devised the Pocket Guide because such a work was sorely needed, and no one else undertook this practi cal service. The ends desired were: 1. Fuller and better arranged details of Routes, Points of Interest, Fares, Hotels, Currency, etc., than are given in many books of greater proportions. 2. Legible type and good maps. 3. A real Pocket Guide, so com. pact as to be carried in a man's coat or hip pocket, or in a woman's dress-pocket or muff. The work has been revised from year to year, and to an average of correctness at least equal to that of any other condensed guidebook. New maps and other improvements have been added. The volume however, has been rigidly kept within its original size. We believe that the POCKET GUIDE is as near what it claims to be as editorial diligence can make it, and trust that it now, more than ever, will add to the comfort of travellers from our own and other English-speaking countries.
