Transcriber's note:
The printed book carried 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 themselves 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 exursions do not have mileage information.
Additional transcriber's notes are at the end of the book.

"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."
