"All who mean to stay in the Eternal City should be provided with Mr.
S. Russell Forbes's 'Rambles in Rome.'"--_The Critic, New York._
"If you are visiting Rome you will find in this book a high-class
companion and guide. Try it, and see the difference between the mere
guide-book produced by the trade to sell, and the chatty, masterly
production of a writer of ability and taste."--_Sword and Trowel._
"It combines a great deal of out-of-the-way historical and
archæological knowledge, with a minute acquaintanceship with the ruins
and other remains of Rome."--_Glasgow News._
"An intelligently-written and well-arranged guide-book."--_Spectator._
"Copiously illustrated and well provided with maps and
plans."--_Chelmsford Chronicle._
"A compact and instructive book, which will be a most useful adjunct
to the traveller's knapsack."--_Life._
"Will undoubtedly prove a valuable hand-book to all who desire to see
and study the Rome of to-day in a systematic fashion."--_Glasgow
Herald._
"It is more than a guide-book; it is a book of reference, and should
be in every library."--_Newport (R. I.) News._
"It would be difficult to recommend a more serviceable volume."--_The
Italian Times._
"The guide is pleasant reading even by the fireside."--_American
Register._
"Best, newest, and cheapest guide to Rome."--_The News._
"One great merit of Mr. Forbes's book is that he deals with his
subject in a business-like way. He briefly states what he knows about
it, without indulging in any rhapsodies or gushes of sentiment, or
suggesting to his readers what thoughts ought to surge up in their
mind as they gaze upon any given scenes or monuments."--_Saturday
Review._
"The volume is profusely illustrated, and is incomparably the most
valuable guide to Rome and its antiquities."--_Christian Union._
"With its limp cover and pictures, it will be found a very handy
pocket volume to walk about with."--_The Guardian._
"It deserves commendation for two very conspicuous merits. It is the
work of an author who thoroughly understands his subject, and it is
remarkably direct and simple in style."--_Scotsman._
"The traveller or resident in the city will find the book of solid and
constant value."--_Boston Congregationalist._
"This is a very interesting work, by the well-known archæologist and
lecturer, Mr. Forbes, who gives the reader the benefit of his thorough
knowledge and familiarity with the subjects on which he writes. A
stranger visiting Rome, who desires to see, if not all, at least as
many wonderful sights as his time will permit, cannot do better than
peruse Mr. Forbes's book, which will enable him to see much more in a
less time and with greater benefit to himself than if he trusted to
the guidance of some of the numerous cicerones with which the Eternal
City is infested."--_Travel._
"'Rambles in Rome' will prove a friend in need and indeed to all who
contemplate visiting the Eternal City."--_Musical Herald._
