Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy: Handbook for Travellers The object of the Handbook for Italy, like that of the Editors other works of the same description, is to enable the traveller to dispense as far as possible with the services of guides, valets-de-place, and others of the same class, to supply him with a few remarks on the progress of civilisation and art among the people he is about to visit, and generally to aid him in deriving enjoyment and instruction from his tour. The Handbook will, moreover, inform the reader how to visit the chief objects of interest with the greatest possible economy of time, money, and, it may be added, temper; for in few countries is the travellers patience more severely put to the test than in Italy. The Editor will endeavour to accompany the enlightened traveller through the streets of the Italian towns, to all the principal edifices and works of art; and to guide his steps amidst the exquisite scenery in which Italy so richly abounds. The Editor has repeatedly explored most of the places described, and the Handbook is mainly the result of his own observation. The present edition has been carefully revised, and provided with the most recent information obtainable. The Editor will highly appreciate any bond fide information with which travellers may favour him and he gratefully acknowledges that already received, which in many instances has been most serviceable. The Maps and Plans, upon which special care has been bestowed, will abundantly suffice for the use of the ordinary traveller. The inexperienced are recommended, when steering their course with the aid of a plan, before starting, to mark with a coloured pencil the point for which they are bound. This will often enable them to avoid a circuitous route. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
