    Press Notices of the First Edition 'The Lancet says :—Gives a fair general account of the climate of the Tanouti health resorts. The Graphic WA.y^:—li^ very neat, useful little hook. Tourists and travellers will find this volume an adniirahle guide in theirjourneyings. The IVesiern Moruing-J\re7us says - A hetter book for the purpose it would be hard to hud. The information given is just what visitors require. The World says:—A thoroughly practical guide for those visiting the Riviera and the Mediterranean coast. >Yritten with trustworthy knowledge and a light hand. The Morning Post says :—A handy and well anaiiged illustrated guide- book. It contains just the kind and amount of information which is wanted, but not always to be found in books of this class. The Queen says:—We welcome and gladly direct attention to books like this as a saving of time and labour, and fitted to inspire con- fidence. We strongly urge intending visitors to procure and to read this book. TrvijfA says:—I had very nearly forgotten your friend in search of a milder winter climate than ours. I do not think she could do better than order an admirable book Mediterranean Winter Resorts, which seems to answer as a guide precisely to her requirements. The Scotsman says:—A good little handbook, dealing with many material points, from a traveller's point of view, which handbooks, as a rule, are careful to avoid, for fear of hurting the feelings of advertisers. Readers may feel assured of its impartiality and confide in its advice. The Field says :—Special care appears to have been taken by the author to give the most recent and reliable information ; and as the book is well got up and handy in form, we recommend it to those who may contemplate visiting the Mediterranean Winter Resorts, in quest of health, pleasure or sport. The Guardian s,a,ys-.— The author has brought into one volume of moderate size and very moderate price a great deal of information which the winter lesident always needs, but does not always know where to look for. We may particularly mention, as likely to be useful to our readers, an authoritative list—more complete and accurate than any hitherto published—of English chaplains and English services in each of the twenty-one places described. The Hospital says :—To anyone who wants to go abroad, but has no experience to guide him in the choice of a place, it is of the greatest value to have a volume like this to tell him not only of winds and sunshine, but of the charges at hotels and boarding-houses, the chances of amusements, the names of English doctors and bankers, and all those details about which the intending traveller, especially if an invalid, feels most anxious. For preliminary guidance be could not do better than consult this little book. Galignani's Messenger says:—An admirable vadc viccum, compressing within a small compass every item of information of Avliich a tourist or sojourner on the Continent may be in quest. The author, who addresses himself more particularly to Englishmen and Americans, is thoroughly impartial in his statements in regard to the price of living at the various winter resort's; and in his recommendations of the leading hotels, clearly mentions the class of society by which each is patronised. The work should be deservedly popular. The Right H071. IV. £. Gladstone, /I/./', says:—An interesting volume. A useful auxiliary to the more voluminous and le^s portable guide books.
