In ITS general statements the volume indicates eX-
act observation and care and accuracy in dc>eup-
ton although the author falls into an occasional er
ror, which presents a bad example 10 less conScen-
! tious travellers. Thus he speaks OF the charming
little city of Lucemc in Switzerland as being at the
point where the River Reuss enters Lake Lucerne,
which is about correct it would be to say that
the city OF Geneva is at the point whore the River
Rhone enters Lake Leman. He also gives the wrong
name to the Boulevard DIES Capucines in describing
the situation Of the Grand Hotel IN Paris. But. as
rule his volume possesses eXactness of which not
many books of recent travels can boast and combines
the information of guidebook with the attractive
ness of a genial narrative.
