Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy, Handbook for Travellers, Vol. 3 The object of the present Handbook, like that of the editors other works of the same description, is to render the traveller as independent as possible of the services of guides, valets-de-place and others of the same class, to supply him with a few remarks on the progress of civilization and art among the people with whom he is about to become acquainted, and to enable him to realize to the fullest extent the enjoyment and instruction to be derived from a tour in Italy. The Handbook is, moreover, intended to place the traveller in a position to visit the places and objects most deserving of notice with the greatest possible economy of time, money, and, it may be added, temper; for in no country is the travellers patience more severely put to the test than in some parts of 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. With a few trifling exceptions, the entire Handbook is framed from the editors personal experience, acquired at the places described. As, however, infallibility cannot be attained, the editor will highly appreciate any bond fide information with which travellers may favour him. That already received, which in many instances has been most serviceable, he gratefully acknowledges. The Maps and Plans, the result of great care and research, will abundantly suffice for the use of the ordinary traveller.
