_This beautiful Volume is dedicated by Special Command to
Her Majesty._
The Rhine Book, by an arrangement entirely novel, seeks to separate the
Romance of Travel from its Commonplace. Numerous Illustrations from
original sketches, and all the attractions of the finest printing,
render the volume worthy of the library, the drawing-room, or the
boudoir, whilst it unites with its claims to elegance those points
of practical usefulness necessary in a Guide Book. Dates, distances,
times, and prices, are fully and exactly stated, to enable the Tourist
to know and regulate his expenses at pleasure, and to avoid those
extortions to which, when destitute of such information, he would most
certainly be subject.
"Our perusal of the book enables us to say that it fully bears
out this description of its contents. The information necessary
for the comfort and convenience of the Tourist, down to the most
minute particulars, is exact and satisfactory; and the general
reader will find poetry, romance, and legendary lore sufficient
to rouse his imagination and gratify his curiosity, though he
should never visit the scenes to which they belong. The volume is
richly embellished with vignettes representing the most remarkable
objects and most picturesque features of scenery, executed with the
beauty for which Mr. How's illustrated publications are so highly
distinguished."—_John Bull._
"We can with truth recommend this volume as combining more
entertaining matter with a large quantity of really useful
information than we have hitherto seen in any work on the
Rhine."—_Sunday Times._
