vindicated. These some OF the points in which
our appre Extensions have been moved in behalf Of
our visiters. II our readers will only put them
selves in the position ofa simple foreigner launched
in streets for fortniaht's onizng, they will at
osce perceive that every step he takes he is beset
We beg to suggest that for such matters as the
sights Of London, lodging board, cabs, and the
like, i might be desirable that the Royal Com
missioner Of the Exhibition should publish simple
guide 10 the principal European languages. BY the
help Of Murray, the veriest cockney, the greenest
schoolboy, and the meekes: country clergy man,
leave his counter, his scAool, or his parsonage,
and make his way through all Europe comic rtably,
cheaply, and expedtously. We are not aware Of any
London guides that would give the foreigner such an
entire command ct this metropolis as Gaignanfs,
for example, gives TO the Engilishman IN Paris.
What we want, however, is some thug more COM
pendious. Such manual would be useful means
Of publishing the addresses OF lodgings and hotels
especially prepared for the accommodation of
foreigners, as also the names of respectable. hon
es, and well informed guides. When Murray
tells US the price OF good dinner, bottle Of Utn
trdiuaue, and he'd, and other details Of every
city and almost every great hotel the continent,
we do not see how such Information should fail to
he acceptable TO our tenignted visiters next sum
mer However, this - only suggestion. We
only ak that while public attention seems directed
with 80 much effect to the getting up Of grand
and unique exhibition, some thought may be given
TO the accommodation and direction Of our visiters.
