From the Preface,
"While briefly adverting to the leading features of particular localities, it has been my chief object to dwell more particularly upon those points upon which information is required by invalids, and the large class of travellers who seek to combine recreation with restoration to health". As such it "may be regarded as a greatly improved edition of the Continental Traveller and Invalid's Hand-book", (Lee Edwin, London, W.J. Adams, 1849).
When packaged this volume will be heavier than the average quoted in my store listings and, as consequence, the shipping cost will be higher than that quoted in my listing. Please contact me if you wish more details.
