Manager, PALMER'S EUROPEAN POCKET GUIDE WITH Telegraph Code for Travelers. J. E. PALMER, PUBLISHER, 128 BROADWAY. 1882. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1882, by J. E. Palmer, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. fis THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON All rights ']/ translation and reprcdtiction reserved. PREFACE. The predecessors of this work, hitherto published under the name of " Palmer's International Pocket Guide," gave a concise description of the principal cities of Europe and America. It also contained a feature entirely new to the traveling public, viz.: a safe and reliable telegraph code for use of travelers abroad. It met with such great success that the proprietor deems it advisable to devote the entire book to European travel, hence the change in name. This edition will be found to retain all the features of freshness, conciseness, re- liability and absence of all tiresome and unnecessary verbiage which have made the previous editions to popular. Approximate fares are given in the rates from London to the chief cities of Europe, as, although correct to date, there is a probability of some slight change being made. With thanks alike for liberal patronage, warm com- mendation and valuable suggestions, the author-proprietor commends the 1882 editions to the same appreciation accorded to its predeces- sors. J. E.

It would be waste of space to linger on the special benefits of European travel for physical and mental improvement ; its profit to teachers and students ; its favorable influence on the invalid ; its rest for the weary ; its stimulant to the over- worked ; its recreation and enjoyment for the mere pleasure- seeker — these facts are sufficiently understood. Modern in- ventions have brought the two continents so near together, and so effectively broken down all the old barriers of travel, that it is often easier and cheaper to spend a summer abroad than to stay at home. More than 80,000 people of the United States and Canada visited Europe last summer, and this will be greatly exceeded during the present year. Railroad fares in Belgium, Bavaria, Italy, North Germany, Norway and Sweden are very much lower than in England. In Austria the fares by the slow trains (goods and passengers) are little more than half the ordinary fare. Hotel life in Europe is very different from hotel life in America. The usual custom is a price per day for your room, 6 PREPARATORY. breakfast a la carte, dinner at table d'hote, at a fixed price; then in addition you pay for "attendance," costing about $3.00 (12s) per day in Great Britain and Ireland, and $2.25 (gs) on the Continent. Unless the expenditure be very lavish, $8.00 (32^) per day for each individual ought to cover all expenses for hotels, steamship and railway fares, etc., and leave a mar- gin for incidental expenses. Before starting on a pleasure tour, the route should be care- fully prepared, so that you can approximate the necessary time and money for the journey. Close all your business and have everything ready the day before your departure. It is better to sit around and be idle a few hours, than to have the worry of a lot of things that have been deferred till the last. To facilitate the traveler's plans, the following skeleton tours are given, together with the time necessary for a hurried view of each place and the objects of interest along the route. If the tourist wishes to go leisurely he should add 50 per cent to the figures, and he will not be far out — allow ten days each way for Atlantic passage : EMBRACING ENGLAND, HOLLAND, BELGIUM, THE RHINE, FRANCE, Etc.

Time required for this Tour (exclusive of ocean voyages) about 60 days. Passports are not now required for a short tour through the Continent of Europe ; however, it is well to have one, as it is often a convenient document by which to be identified at banks or post-offices, or to obtain admission to places of inter- est whe're it is required. They can be procured by making ap- plication to any authorized notary. This should be done a week or ten days before departure. The Government fee is five dollars for each passport. Securing Staterooms. — [Consult steamship advertise- ments at end of book.] If you require one of the best state- rooms it will be advisable to engage it a week previous to sail- ing, as most of them are engaged at an early date. In the event of unexpected hindrance occurring there is rarely any difficulty in arranging with the steamship company to sell your berth and transfer you from one steamer to a later one, provid- ing you notify them any time before the " eleventh ' hour. If you have a good opportunity for choice of stateroom, get one as near midship as possible, as there is less motion felt, and therefore less chance of being seasick. Money. — Carry in actual money (English gold by far the most convenient, except for going directly to France — then IO BAGGAGE. French gold,) only so much as will pay expenses on ship-board and last during the few days that may happen to elapse before reaching the point at which the first draft is made payable. All beyond this should be taken either in bills-of-exchange on bankers in one or more of the great cities to be visited, or in circular letters-of-credit to corresponding houses in those cities* Only the very first class of banking houses should be dealt with, in procuring exchange or letters-of-credit, if the painful possibility of finding oneself abroad without funds is to be avoided. [See bankers' advertisements, where all information as to details can be procured.] Baggage. — It is of the greatest importance that passen- gers should take as little baggage with them on the\r tour as possible, as high rates are charged for extra baggage, especially on the Continent, and the limited weight allowed to tourists is ioo pounds on ocean steamers and up to London, 60 pounds being the weight allowed on the Continent of Europe. A strong medium-sized wooden or leather trunk is preferable, and where friends are traveling together, or in the case of married couples, a single trunk may serve for two persons. A small hand-bag or satchel, together with a shawl-strap, will be found of great convenience. Travelers should avoid Overloading themselves with unnecessary bundles and packages. A most valuable and useful article is a small field or large opera glass, which should have a strap attached, by which it can be carried over the shoulder. A strong umbrella is frequently useful as a protection against sun and rain. Arrange your baggage as compactly as possible, packing everything you require for the voyage over in a valise, which you will be able to keep in your stateroom. Your trunk will be stowed in the hold ot the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING CODE. II steamer, and therefore "un-come-at-able" till the end of the journey. Instructions for Using* Travelers' Code. — This code has been specially prepared to meet the requirements of travelers. Its use reduces the expense of communicating with friends at home to a nominal sum. The ciphers have been tele- graphically checked, i.e., words only being selected whose telegraphic characters are not likely to conflict in transmission. It is the only safe code of the kind in existence. Those intend- ing to use the code should procure an extra copy to leave with friends at home, and if necessary fill in the blank spaces with private phrases you are likely to use, care being taken to make both books agree. The code was used by a large number of travelers last year, and as many parties purchase the Guide after leaving their homes, and seeing the great value of the code are desirous of using it, on receipt of a letter addressed to J. E. Palmer, 128 Broadway, New York, containing cost of book in stamps or otherwise, copy or copies will be forwarded to any given address, and, if requested, a line added to fully explain use, etc. Also, if requested, a letter or a postal card will be sent to purchaser stating date book was forwarded to his friends, so that he can use code immediately on arrival in Europe. Clothing. — For the ocean passage, the tourist should pro- vide himself for all kinds of weather. The clothing should be ample, to guard against chills, and outside wraps, hoods, shawls, overcoats, worsted leggings and rugs will be found highly use- ful. Ladies will find camel-hair serge or woolen dresses the best. Jewelry of value should not be taken, with the exception, perhaps, of one set, to be worn constantly. Gentlemen will find warm clothing throughout, with an overcoat, very service- 12 THE TRAVELER S REMINDER. able, so that prolonged sojourns may be made upon deck, and cold winds may be encountered without discomfort. A suit of old clothes to lounge around the deck without fear of spoiling, and a soft felt hat or a smoking-cap, will be found serviceable on shipboard. All clothing worn on steamers may be left be- hind either at Glasgow, Liverpool or London, where it can be stored at a slight expense. For traveling on the Continent, ladies should have a traveling and walking dress, and a black silk or stylish costume for receptions or dress occasions. For gentlemen, a traveling suit, also a black suit for dress occa- sions. The Traveler's Reminder. — i.

Parties would do well to consult their usual medical attendant on this subject before leaving. First-class physicians and apothecaries can be found in all SEA SICKNESS. 13 principal cities in Europe. A little court plaster, extract of ginger, ammonia, arnica, or some kind of liniment, enter into every tourist's outfit. Steamer Chair.-— A steamer chair is very desirable for the ocean voyage. The owner's full name should be painted on the back ; it can easily be stored until the return. Sea Sickness. — For sea sickness there are many remedies of doubtful efficacy ; none decidedly curative ; cold brandy and water benefit some, but makes others worse. Two drops of creosote on a lump of sugar will sometimes check the sickness. Five drops of chloroform dissolved in a glass of sherry, with half a tumbler of cold water, is often more successful, or chlo- roform globules, each containing about five minims of chloro- form, may be procured from the chemist. On commencing a voyage of any length it is well to empty the stomach, and to remove acidity with an emetic composed of a teaspoonful of soda and a teaspoonful of mustard in a large tumblerful of warm water, or several good purgative doses should be taken. This will render the person much less liable to sea sickness afterwards. The fact is that each instance of sea sickness de- pends upon the individual himself. The author has witnessed persons apparently in the most robust health overpowered very readily bv sea sickness, while feeble, timid persons, who were continually dreading sea sickness before starting, were, during the passage, in the happy position of amending as good Samaritans on their otherwise more robust co-passengers. Instructions to Continental Travelers. Landing on the Continent. — No sooner does the steamboat reach port than the traveler finds himself mobbed 14 CUSTOM HOUSE REGULATIONS. by the porters and employes of the different hotels; showers of cards will be poured on him, and the prices charged bawled out. To avoid all this, let him determine on his hotel before- hand, and name it at once, when the agent will immediately step forward and take the new arrival under his protection to the hotel. It is advisable not to ask cabmen at a station about hotels, as they may possibly drive you to the wrong one. Custom Mouse Regulations. — Passengers on landing are not permitted to take more than one small bag with them on shore. The Custom House porters, who are responsible for the luggage, convey direct from the vessel to the Custom House, to which the owner, to save personal attendance, should send the Hotel Commissionaire afterwards with the keys. The Commissionaire will also obtain the necessary official signature of the police to the traveler's passport. The landlord of the inn is responsible for his honesty. When passing your own luggage you will find that at no time are courtesy and good hu- mor better repaid than during its examination. Never be in a hurry ; collect your packages and open them one by one j-our- self; lock one before the next is "visited." The officers are only doing their duty, and can make that duty very disagree- able in return for any hauteur ox want of courtesy. Always " declare " any article you believe liable to duty, and remember that every Custom House officer abroad can search your person if he chooses. Caution. — All articles such as wearing apparel, not having been worn, must be declared at the Custom House. Travelers not conforming to this regulation will incur not only the confis- cation of the articles not declared, but also the payment of a fine. Silks, lace and other foreign goods, packed with articles HOTEL BILLS, KEYS, ETC. 1 5 of apparel, or otherwise concealed, are, as well as the article in which they may be placed, liable to seizure ; and travelers are warned that the seizure is strictly enforced, unless the examin- ing officer is informed of the articles being in the package and the goods duly declared previously to its being opened. Hotel Key. — Always lock your door on leaving your room, and, if going for a walk, hang the key on the number of your room on the keyboard. The landlord is then {and then only) responsible for the safety of your room ; while visitors learn more easily that you are out. When the key is the only handle to the door, take care not to leave the room without it. Hotel Sills. — When the traveler remains for a week or more at a hotel, it is advisable to pay, or at least call for, his account every two or three days, in order that erroneous inser- tions may at once be detected. Verbal reckonings should not be accepted. A waiter's arithmetic is faulty, and his mistakes are seldom in favor of the traveler. A habit too often prevails of presenting the bill at the last moment, when errors or willful impositions must be submitted to for want of time to investi- gate them. Those who propose starting early in the morning will do well to ask for their bills on the previous evening. Washing". — In hotels on the Continent of Europe there are ample facilities forgetting washing done for travelers quickly. It should be given to the chambermaid early in the day, and a list made out of the articles, with the day and hour at which they are required to be returned clearly written at the foot. Children, — Children travel free (if accompanied by an adult) up to the age of three years throughout the greater part of the Continent. In Austria and Switzerland children travel free up to two years, but are generally allowed to pass without 16 COACHES AND DILIGENCES. payment for a year longer. In England, Norway and Sweden, children between the ages of three and twelve pay half price ; in Austria and Switzerland, between the ages of two and ten, they pay half price ; in Prussia, two children under the age of ten travel with one ticket ; a single child paying full fare in third class travels in second class, or paying second class fare travels in first class. In Belgium, three-quarter fare from three to eight years of age ; and in France, half fare for those between three and seven. As a rule, children traveling at half price are allowed less free luggage than adults ; in France they have a free allowance of only 20 kilos. (44 lbs.) instead of 30 kilos. (66 lbs.). It is always advisable to show the child who is to travel either gratis or at reduced price to the booking-clerk I and in France it is usual to stamp "ENFANT" upon the ticket of the adult who accompanies the child to save disputes as to the age at the end of the journey. Coadie§ and IMligences. — Notwithstanding the de- velopment of the railway system on the Continent, which has left scarcely one town of any importance unprovided with rail- way communication, travelers still find it convenient to avail themselves of public conveyances. They are still numerous in mountain districts, especiall}*- in Switzerland, the Tyrol, the Highlands of Bavaria, the Black Forest, Western Austria, &c. Fares are generally low, and the carriages often really comfort- able, though not invariably good in all parts. In Spain the coaches mostly are comfortable, but the fares enormously high, often 4d. per English mile. Throughout the German Empire (except Wiirtemberg and Bavaria, where the rate is less by two- fifths), the uniform fare by diligence and post-coach is now iopf. per kilometer, or i^d. per English mile. In Austria LUGGAGE. 17 fares vary from id. to 2^d. per English mile; and coaches are in general expensive, slow and tedious. In Belgium and France fares are also reasonable, seldom exceeding 8 centimes per kilometre (i^d. a mile). In Switzerland the coaches are invariably comfortable, and their speed is such as to satisfy most travelers. The fixed rate is 65 centimes per stunden (2d. per English mile) ; and 1 fr. (3d. per mile) for the same dis- tance over the Alpine Passes, which are traversed by sledges during winter. The coupe is 5c. (>^d.) per English mile dearer; but this is only found on the larger diligences, and is an exception to the rule. Children under ten and over three half price. About 44 lbs. of luggage are carried free of charge ; and return tickets are sometimes issued at a small re- duction. Luggage. — Free allowance on English lines, 112 English Ids. ; en the Continent in English lbs. : Germany. . . .50 lbs. to aU classes. Russia 55 lbs. to all classes. Austria 55 " " " Spain 66 *' " " France 66 " " '* Sweden 66 " Exce§§ Luggage. — The following will help to give some idea of the charge for excess luggage : Austria 60 lbs. cost % of third class maximum fare. Bavaria 50 " " " " " '• " France 62 " " " " " " " Wurtemberg 40 " " " " " " " The charges for luggage in Belgium and Italy are very high ; no allowance is made. No allowance in Holland or Switzer- land. Note. — A receipt for luggage must be procured before start- ing (even if there be no charge made, and no excess weight), and without this receipt the luggage will not be given up. 1 8 LUGGAGE. Luggage should be as limited in amount, as light, and as portable as possible. For a gentleman a short and deep port- manteau, strengthened to resist the pressure of heavier pack- ages, will be most convenient. The name and place of desti- nation should be distinctly written on the cover. In case par- ties cannot travel without carrying with them a large quantity of baggage, it may be better to send it on in transit per lug- gage train ; as by this mode a saving may sometimes (though not always) be effected. As a rule, however, never part with your luggage. Baggage registered to bs sent on en transit, cannot, it must be remembered, be got at by the owner till it has reached its destination, though it may be conveyed by the same train with himself. Passengers with through tickets can register their luggage by all through services between London and Paris {via Dover and Calais, Folkestone and Boulogne, and Newhaven and Dieppe) ; also between London, Brussels and Cologne, and many of the principal cities of the Continent {via Dover and Calais). Un- less the baggage by the mail trains is registered, it may be de- tained at the landing port for the following train. Travelers taking through tickecs from Calais to stations on the Rhine beyond Cologne need not register their luggage be- yond Cologne, as all luggage, without exception, is examined there. Luggage unlocked is refused on some German lines. At the same time, locking is not always a protection abroad. Porterage of Luggage. — Travelers will save much trouble and many overcharges by asking the proprietor of the hotel to which they go to settle with the porter for the luggage. Railway Carriages. — As a rule, it maybe said that the carriages are much more comfortable in the North than in the SLEEPING CARRIAGES. 19 South of Europe, and that, with few exceptions, throughout the whole of Germany and the greater part of German-Switzer- land, the second-class carriages are something better than second-class in England. The second and third-class in Bel- gium, France and Italy are now very much more spacious, comfortable and clean than formerly. The difference between first and second-class carriages on the Continent generally is perhaps quite equal to the difference in the fare. On many of the French express trains, and on nearly all trains in Baden, Wiirtemberg, and some other parts of Germany, wagons con- taining water-closets are attached. Sleeping Carriages*. — The Mann Boudoir Sleeping Car, having beds, lavatories, water-closets, and other appointments, rendering traveling more comfortable, will be found on many Continental railways at a moderate extra charge. During the five or six- winter months, the carriages (first, second and third-class, without exception) are well heated with iron stoves throughout the greater part of Northern Europe, Germany and Switzerland. When not heated with stoves, foot- warmers are provided ; but in Belgium and in France (as else- where in the South of Europe) these are only found in first- class carriages, and are always provided and changed when required, free from any charge whatever. Those who object to smoke can almost always procure a carriage in which smok- ing is strictly forbidden. Except in Germany, smoking is only allowed on sufferance, and those who object have only to insist upon their right ; those who cannot make known their wishes from their ignorance of the language have only to point to the notice generally attached to the non-smoking carriages ; which hint proves for the most part sufficient. As a rule ladies have 20 RAILWAY FARES. no difficulty in procuring a ladies' compartment ; indeed, car- riages are generally reserved for them on all through trains on most lines on the Continent. Railway Fares. — These can be easily ascertained with- out difficulty, a fare-table being nearly always attached to the booking-office. In Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy the fare is legibly printed on the tickets, which is a great guar- antee to the inexperienced traveler against fraud on the part of the booking-clerk. Considering the comfort and convenience, the second-class carriages in Central Europe are far cheaper and more to be recommended than the first and third classes; the first being much dearer than the second without corre- sponding advantage, and the third little cheaper than the second and far inferior in every respect. Return Tiefc.et§. — Almost universal abroad, and issued upon terms far more liberal than any granted by the English lines. As a rule, they are only available for the day on which they are issued ; but in Germany they are often available for from two to five days, and in France on some lines for two days, or from Saturday to Monday. They are issued in Baden, Bavaria, Denmark, Holland and Wurtemberg, at a fare and a half for the double journey — (/. e.. reduction of 25 per cent off the double fare): in Belgium and Switzerland, at a reduction of 20 per cent, or at the rate of one and three-fifths fare ; in Saxony genenerally at a fare and one-third; in North Germany at a rate varying from a fare and one-seventh to a fare and three-fifths. In Austria, return tickets are not yet general, but are some- times issued. In France the rates are as follows : On the Nord Railway, 1% fares (1 7-10 fare for third-class); on the Quest Line, 1^ to \ l / 2 fare (though occasionally lower) ; on the FEES. 21 Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean Line, i^" to 1% fare (issued on special occasions and to large towns) ; on the Est, one and one-fifth fare (except out of Paris, which is \]/ 2 fare and more) ; on the Orleans and Southern (Midi) Lines, return tickets are only issued to and from a few stations. In Italy, return tickets (one day only) are issued at an average rate of a fare and two- thirds. Return tickets are not always available by express trains ; inquiry should be made. Telegraphic Communication. — Throughout the whole of Belgium and Switzerland, the tariff for inland mes- sages is fixed at 50 centimes (5d). Travelers in Switzerland are advised in the height of the season to telegraph beforehand for bedrooms at the fashionable hotels along the beaten track. In most countries the local rates are low. Messages for America should be marked "Via Direct Cable " (this is the best and quickest route); these words are not charged for. Fees. — The system of gratuities that prevail in Great Britain and on the Continent is the greatest of all anno)^ances of European travel, not so much for the money it consumes as for the perplexities it makes, and the perpetual irritation of being asked at every step to give an indefinite sum for real or fancied services. When you have engaged cabmen, guides or other individuals whose rate of service is regulated by a tariff, you will be about right if you add ten per cent for a gratuity. The usual fee in a restaurant on the Continent is a sou on each franc of the bill ; thus if you have ten francs to pay, you give half a franc or ten sous to the waiter. The cashier gen. erally arranges the change so that you have the material for the pour boire. Sometimes there is an attempt to cause the stran- 22 FEES. ger to bleed freely, by making change so that he will be com- pelled to give more than is necessary. When this is done, ask for change, or better still, give the exact fee from the re- serve you should always have in your pocket. For a hotel the amount given should be proportioned to the time you have been in the house, the services of the waiters, the demands you have made upon them, and the size of your party. Sup- pose you are four in number and have been a week in the house, you pay the concierge from five to eight francs, the chambermaid four to six, the waiter who has brought the coffee in the morning and otherwise looked after you, five to eight, the porter who has handled your luggage and blacked your boots five to six francs. These figures are for a fair amount of service, and liberal enough for most cases. Every traveler must judge for himself if he has made an undue de- mand upon the servants, and gauge his gratuities accordingly. In churches no fees are necessary except on special services; at galleries one franc, or about that value, is enough for a party, or fifty centimes is sufficient for a party of two. A sou or any small coin, is sufficient for the legions of beggars be- setting one's way ; and probably one franc put into the box of a local society for relief of the poor would be better spent than two francs distributed amongst them in sous. Make a rule of never going out without a supply of small coins, how- ever, but never use them lavishly. Let the traveler make a favor of giving a sou, and he will be respected. Never give a sou to one beggar in the presence of another. Switzerland and Mountainous Districts.— Travelers, ascending mountains, should be provided with a frock of oiled silk, as the best protection against the weather, CHOLERA, MOSQUITO BITES, ETC. 23 A belt round the waist and a mountain-pole are also of ser- vice. The best restorative is tea. Provisions should be con- veyed in a knapsack or haversack, of which the Guide will take charge, and the contents of which he will expect to share- The traveler should never lose sight of his Guide, especially- near glaciers. Persons subject to giddiness should not ascend heights. Travelers visiting the glacier passes will find great comfort from glycerine, applied to the face before start- ing ; and a small bottle should be carried in the pocket, from which the lips maybe anointed from time to time, to prevent the excoriation from which some persons suffer. It is also efficacious as a cure, but prevention is better. Cholera — Mosquito Bites — Water. — A simple remedy for cholera and dysentery, used in Syria by the natives, is powdered charcoal (made from burnt bread), a tea- spoonful of which, in a cup of sugarless coffee, is a good daily dose. For ant, insect or mosquito bites, bathing the parts in milk and vinegar is a good corrective. Or, dissolve carbonate of soda in a teaspoonful of water ; warm over a candle, and apply. Or, touch the bite with strong spirits of ammonia, a phial of which for the waistcoat pocket may be had of most chemists abroad, for one franc or one mark. Pastilles made of nitrate of potash are recommended against mosquitoes. Arnica is good for sprains. To clear water, use a little alum powder, or a few peach stones. Where water is suspected, drink common wine, tea, coffee, soda-water, or some other mineral water. Language. — Every traveler should, if possible, make himself acquainted with the language of the country before he goes to travel in it ; even a very slight knowledge of it 24 POSTE RESTANTE. will often be found useful. To know the language is to have a double purse. The French language will suffice for Belgium, the Rhine and its vicinity, Switzerland, Piedmont, and the chief towns of Northern Italy. It is not generally known in the German States, nor in the provincial towns of Italy, nor in the Tyrol. In most of the Continental Hotels the manager or some of the waiters speak English. Parties employing an interpreter should be particular in their arrangements with him as to amount of remuneration. For list of common words in English, French, German and Italian, see Vocabulary. Poste Kestante. — Letters for the Continent should be addressed very legibly, particularly the Christian and sur- name, omitting "Hon.,'" "Esquire," or other titles, which officers of foreign post-offices are apt to take for a name. Persons applying for letters should present their cards with their names written very plainly. It is, however, best to address letters to a hotel, or care of a banker, as letters addressed Poste Restante are often mislaid and lost.

A seat at the dining table will be assigned you by the stew- ard, which place you must keep for the voyage. Make friends with the stewards by treating them respect- fully. Speak to the steward in charge of your stateroom, and also the steward who attends to your particular table ; promise them the usual "douceur" at the end of the voyage. A five dollar bill (half a sovereign each) is well invested, and quite sufficient to secure their good attention to your many wants during the vovage over. Do not, however, pay them until the last day of the voyage, and the services of the men are ended ; otherwise you will find that the steward cannot hear your summons, as he is looking after some one who hasn't yet rewarded him. This refers also to fees to servants at hotels, which should never be given till the moment of departure. It has before been said that "dandyism is at a discount at sea ; " so is, or ought to be, Jinickiness. What if neither shav- ing, nor dressing, nor any of the other offices of civilized life can be done quite as well as at home? Nobody notices whether they are scrupulously performed or not; and some of the neat- est of men when on shore, when they have become old travel- ers, consent to be slovenly for those few days without serious suffering. Determine to be as jolly as health will allow, and as com- panionable as is at all consistent with the temperament. Join in all practical harmless amusements, with the result of mak- ing your own days less tedious, and producing the same effect 32 USEFUL HINTS. on those of others. One jolly fellow, sometimes, seems to leaven up a whole ship-load ; one or two glum faces act like a wet blanket on all concerned. There is a comradery in sea- going, scarcely second to that of the army; and some of the pleasantest friendships of years originate on the deck filled with comparative strangers. Quoits, shovel-board, chess, draughts, backgammon, social games at cards, all these supply amusement to those who will take any of them ; and there is room for any amount of table sociability at meals, not marred but rather increased by the little accidents to which breakfast- ing or dining in rough weather is certainly subject. Brief but Useful Mints. — Don't speak to the man at the wheel. Keep out of the way of the ropes, officers and men, when they are engaged in making or shortening sail, bracing yards, etc. Don't ask too many questions as to why this and that is done. Don't go on the "Bridge." Don't go up or down companion ladder (stairs) without a firm hold of the rail. Don't go forward or stand near taffrail (extreme stern) when a heavy sea is running. Keep a firm hold of rail or nearest rope in moving about the deck when in a heavy sea, as the deck is both wet and slip- pery, and often a "sudden roll" will cause one a very unpleas- ant throw to leeward. Don't call the stewards "waiters." > In heavy weather (especially if you have top bunk), if the rolling of the vessel prevents your sleeping, pack your carpet- FUNNEL MARKS ON OCEAN STEAMERS. 33 bag closely in against the sideboard and lay inside. This will generally enable you to lie without rolling, and thus secure sleep. Keep on deck as much as possible ; half the charm of going to sea lies in the pure, fresh air ; except in very stormy weather there is less chance of being seasick, and it is much healthier and pleasanter than staying below. Besides, those who keep on deck enjoy all the sights of a sea voyage, such as passing vessels, whales, porpoises, trimming and making sail, etc. As passing a vessel at sea, especially a transatlantic passenger steamer, causes no little excitement, and everyone is eager to know the name or the line to which she belongs, the following funnel marks and night signals of the ocean steamers will be found useful to distinguish them : Funnel Harks on Ocean Steamers. Allan Line. — Lower two-thirds red, white band and black top. American Line. — Lower part red, with white keystone on a narrow white band above, and black top. Anchor Line — Black. Bremen Line — Black. Cunard Line — Red and black top. # Dominion Line. — Lower two-thirds red, then a black band, then a thin red, then a thin white band and red top. French Line — Red with black top. All these vessels have a "wind flag" at each royal masthead. Guion Line— Lower two-thirds black, a red band and black top. 34 NIGHT SIGNALS ON OCEAN STEAMERS. Hamburg Line — Black. Inman Line — The lower two-thirds black, and white band and black top. Monarch Line — Funnels French gray with a black top. National Line — White with black top. Rotterdam Line — Black funnel, green and white top. State Line — Lower two-thirds buff or yellow, a red band and black top. White Star Line — Yellow with black top. Night Signals on Ocean Steamers. Allan Line — Blue, white and red rockets in succes- sion. American Line. — One red Pyrotechnic light, followed by one Roman candle throwing out six red balls, and one red Pyrotechnic light. Anchor Line — Red and white lights alternately. Bremen Line — Blue light forward and aft, and two rocke's simultaneously. Cunard Line — Two rockets and blue lights simultane- ously, Dominion Line — i. A Roman candle throwing six red %tars to a height not exceeding ioo feet. 2. The Chatham light, showing six flashes of five seconds duration each, with intervals of five seconds. Note. — These signals may be used either separately or together. 3. A blue pyrotechnic light shown simultaneously with other one or both of the signals numbered 1 and 2. NIGHT SIGNALS OF OCEAN STEAMERS. 35 Note. — When this signal is used it signifies a wish to communicate. French Line — Two rockets forward, one gun and two rockets aft. Guion Line — Blue lights forward, aft and on bridge simultaneously. Hamburg Line — Fireball, rocket, and fireball in succes- sion. Inman Line — Blue lights forward and aft ; red light on bridge and variegated rocket. Monarch Line — A Coston signal burning green, white, green. National Line — Blue light, rocket and red light in succession. State Line — A Coston light showing white, burning the colors blue and red in succession. White Star Line — Green light, rocket throwing two green stars. Remember, ofteher than when the service is read on Sab- bath morning, that there is a Hand, wiser and stronger than that of any officer of the ship, ruling not only the vessel but the waves upon which she rides, and the winds and other elements which may place her in peril. One of the chief topics on shipboard is the rate of sail- ing and the number of knots made each day. Many small bets and sweepstakes are made among the passengers, and ev^ry one feels interested in the day's run.

Assuming the traveller leaves the steamer at Queenstown, on the Liverpool route, it will be proper first to take a hurried peep at Ireland, reminding the reader that the commencement is at the extreme south, working northward, and that those who cross from Scotland to Belfast or other ports in the north, to take homeward passage from Queenstown, need only to reverse the route to derive the same advantage. Q,ueeilStOWH. — If the tourist has time, a day's rest and a look round the town will repay him. It boasts of a fine Harbor and Esplanade, and is the favorite bathing and summer resort for the South of Ireland. The Queen's Hotel is situated on the Esplanade, and will be found a very comfortable hotel. Cork is about 12 miles distant and can be reached by steam- boat up the River Lee, or by "jaunting car," (if fine, this will be a very pleasant ride), also by trains, which leave every hour of the day. Those who wish to leave immediately for London, Dublin and the North, will find through trains leaving daily at 9 A. m., 11.30 a.m., and 9.00 p.m., for Cork, Dublin, Kingstown, Holy- head, Chester, Crewe, Stafford and Rugby to London, arriving in London, Euston Station, 6.45 a.m. 9.20 a.m., and 6.25 p.m. the next day.

Cork.. — The second largest city of Ireland — is divided by the Rivtx Lee and spanned by nine bridges, the best of which are St. Patrick's and St. Finbar's. A long street or walk lined with trees, called the Mardyke, is one of the principal promen- A J IRELAND. 41 ades. The new Wall or Marina along the south bank of the i\ver is another pleasant walk. The Mall and the Grand Parade are good broad streets. On the south bank of the Lee is the new City Park of 240 acres near the Bandon Railway. Buildings of Note. — Mansion House, St. Patrick's Cathe- dra', St. Paul's, a handsome modern Gothic church, St. Mary Shandon has a chime of sweet bells in its spire tower of 120 feet. The best way to see the town in the shortest space of time, is to engage an open "jaunting car," but be sure and make a bargain with Pat before you start, and don't let him "lave it to your honor, sure," or when you return it's ten to one there will be trouble, as he is sure to want an exorbitant fare. The Lee above Cork may be ascended past Inniscarra and Macroom Castle, to the solitary lakes of Allua and Gougane Barra, and the Shehy mountains, which are 1,796 feet hi ±h ; thencs over Priest Leap or Kimaneigh Pass to Glengariff. about 50 miles. The river is lined with granite quays, (inaccessible at low water) at which large vessels can unload ; but the general place for unloading is at Passage, lower down, to which there is a railway of eight miles, via Blackrock and Rochestown. The descent should be made by boat to enjoy the beautiful views of the hills and country seats on both sides, with Blackrock and Monkstown Castles. - The noble harbor, surrounded by hills on all sides, is four miles by two, having room and water enough for hundreds of vessels. Drive to Blarney Castle, about six miles distance. Here you will see the ruins of the grand old castle, and the original " Blarney Stone" which is 42 IRELAND. on the southern wall of the keep ; the " Groves," and Blarney Lake, though small, are very picturesque.

The shorter route from Cork to the Lakes of Killarney, and consequently the one most frequently followed, is by rail, the transit occupying some five to seven hours. Leaving Cork by this route, much handsome scenery is to be enjoyed, with, among other views, a fine one of the Castle and Groves of Blarney at some distance to the left ; but nothing of special interest breaks the journey until the arrival at IRELAND. 43 Mallow, a thriving town, at two hours' distance, where the passenger changes cars from the train direct for Charleville and Dublin, to that for the cross-road for Killarney andTralee. There are some manufactories at Mallow, and much of Irish rural life and character may be observed at and around the sta- tion; but there is nothing to tempt the laying over of a train, when the reputation of the lakes is calling. It is a run of about three hours from Mallow to Killarney ; from Mallow Junction the line proceeds to Lombards town, thence to Kanherk, Millstreet, Shinnagh and Headford. After leaving the latter place we find the beautiful mountains of Ker- ry lifting themselves ahead and to the left, as Killarney is reached. Killarney. There is little to attract in the town of Killarney. It consists of three main streets, with diverging alleys. The new Roman Catholic Cathedral is a Gothic building, by Pugin. Killarney House is the splendid seat of Lord Kenmare. The traveler who wishes to see the lakes should take his residence at one of the hotels, each of which commands a staff of boatmen, guides, and carmen, who are all usually extremely civil ; it will be a mistake if he hire through any other medium than the hotel at which he is stopping. Tariff of Cars : One horse car,. 8d. per mile. Carriage and pair of horses, is. 3d. per mile. Ponies, 5s. per day. Two-oared boat, 7s. 6d. per day; four-oared, 15s.; and six- oared, 21s. per day. Car drivers and boatmen's hire included in the above charges. Guides are 3s. 6d. per day each, and buglers 5s. Boats on the lakes, is. 6d. per hour. 44 IRELAND. Two, four Or six-Oared boats can also be hired at the hotels, fully equipped for any part of the Lower and Upper Lakes. In fact, both the internal and the external arrangements of these hotels correspond with the requirements of first-class establish- ments, to which tourists from all parts of the world resort dur- ing the season. On looking from the windows of these hotels, the stranger will see at a glance that the beauties of the Killar- ney Lakes have not been exaggerated. The Lake, the surface of which is studded with numerous green and romantic islands, shines like molten gold in the light of a morning sun, hemmed in by the lofty mountains, which rear their majestic crests across the limpid waters. Among the most conspicuous of these is the round-topped Mangerton, 2,754 feet high, celebrated for a lake near its summit, called the Devil's Punch Bowl, the ascent to which is strongly recom- mended to all travelers. The Turk or Tore Mountain (1,784 feet), the Purple Mountain, (2,739 feet), with its separate hills of Tomies (2,413 feei) and Glena ; and the jagged, highly pic- turesque and splendid range knows as "Mac Gillycudy's Reeks" bound the view, and impress the visitor with a deep sense of their grandeur and beauty. The Lakes of Ki Harney are three in number — the Upper, the Tore (or Middle) and the Lower, with their islands and other attractive objects. For only one day's sojourn at Killarne) T the most compre- hensive arrangement will be found in taking jaunting car from the hotel to the extreme lower end of the Lower Lake, and across the bridge over the Lake to Kate Kearney's cottage and the entrance to the wild Gap of Dunloe ; thence Kerry ponies, with guide (always in readiness there), through the Gap, by IRELAND. 45 Serpent Lake, and descending to the valley beyond — to the head of the Upper Lake ; thence by boat (sent up to meet, with lunch) down the Upper Lake, the Long Range (including the beautiful " Meeting of the Waters," and Eagle's Nest, with the wonderful echo under it), to the old Weir Bridge, the Middle Lake, under Brickeen Bridge to the Lower Lake, and so homeward, by Glena Bay and Cottage, with stops at Innis- fallen and Ross Castle (islands) if time will allow. Two hours yet may be found, if departure the next morning is imperative, to ride by jaunting car to Mucro§s AI>l>ey, one of the very finest mediaeval ruins in Ireland, standing near the eastern side of Mucross Lake (Mid- dle), with an ivy-grown square tower of wonderful beauty ; the tombs of O'Donoghue, McCarthy More, and other kings of Munster yet remaining in the chancel ; a wonderful old yew- tree filling up the whole court ; old cloisters ; ivy to any ex- tent ; and a history dating back to 1140. If there is a second day at the Lakes, the first should end with the return from the Gap, down the Lakes, before given ; then on the second day, by jaunting car, visit Mucross, Tore Waterfall (a very beautiful cascade on the north side of Tore Mountain), and observe the scenery of the Middle Lake, made memorable by Gerald Griffin in his novel of the " Col- legians," and in its after-thought, the " Colleen Bawn." Still longer sojourners, with taste for mountain-climbing, will, of course, make the favorite ascent of Mangerton, etc. And whether the sojourn be longer or shorter, there can certainly be found an hour for making the short excursion to the Ruins of Aghadoe, lying a mile or two eastward from the shore of the Lower Lake, opposite Innisfallen. These ruins consist of 46 IRELAND. two round-towers (one of them evidently very old — Norse : probably Danish), and the remains of an Abbey which shows a gateway with some very fine work of the early Norman period. Distances from Killarney town to a few of the chief places of interest: Miles. The Glen in Lord Kenmare's Deer Park % Ross Island (by land) 2 Mucross Abbey — 3 . Tore Waterfall 5 O'Sullivan's Cascade 5 Aghadoe Ruins, through Ken- mare Demesne 5% Miles.

The first five days relate to the district of the Lakes. The sixth excursion will afford those who are inclined to visit the scenery of the Kerry coast, wild and grand as it is, an op- portunity of gratifying their taste : — First Day. — Carriage to the Gap of Dunloe ; on pony through the Gap ; boat from Lord Brandon's Cottage to Ross Castle ; and from Ross Castle to Hotel by carriage. Second Day. — Carriage to Mucross Abbey and Demesne ; Dinish Island ; Derrycunnihy Cascade ; Mulgrave Police Station ; return to Hotel by the Tore Waterfall.

Fifth Day. — Ruins of Aghadoe j Ross Island and West De- mesne ; Innisfallen Island ; O'Sullivan's Cascade ; and caves of the Middle Lake. IRELAND. 47 Sixth and following Days. — Valentia ; Transatlantic Tele- graph Station ; by car. Killarney to Galway, Connemara, the North and West. For Galway and the West and North, from Killarney by rail to Mallow, thence to Limerick Junction and Limerick. Thence by rail to Ellllis, at the head of the broad river Fergus, connecting with the Shannon (excursions to Clare, to Quin Abbey, to the fine islands in the Fergus, etc.) From Ennis by rail to Atlieiiry, important station on line between Galway and Dublin, and within view of the Connemara Mountains. (Branch rail to Tuam.) Athenry by rail to Galway, the capital of the West, and in population the fifth town of Ireland. It is situated at the head of Galway Ba) r , at the point of intersection of the outflow of Lough Corrib (with fine scenery and tempting excursions), and near the picturesque Connemara Mountains, also easily reached. It has two colleges — Queen's and Erasmus Smith's ; three monasteries, and five nunneries ; St. Nicholas and several other churches; many public buildings, and a considerable number of manufactories. From Galway charming excursions may be made by steamer up Lough Corrib, to Cong Caves and Cong Abbey, with cir- cuit by public car to Maam, and hired car to Leenane, thence public car to Clifden Castle and waterfall ; and similar convey- ance back to Galway, skirting the Twelve Pins Mountains, and in this circuit some of the finest scenery of Connemara being enjoyed. 48 IRELAND. Going north and east from Gal way, proceed by train, by Athenry and Ballinasloe, to Athlone, lying at the southern end of Lough Ree, and offering pleasant excursions in the neighborhood of that lake ; thence on by rail to Mullingar, at the head of Lough Ennet. From Mullingar by rail to Dublin. Or, for the North, from Mullingar, by Rathowen, to Cavan, and to Clones, at near the foot of Lough Erne. Thence by rail by Enniskillen (excursions on Lough Erne), Omagh and Lifford, to Londonderry. London derry stands on Upper Lough Foyle, on the western bank of the Foyle, and consists of four principal streets, which cross each other at right angles, and from which a number of smaller ones diverge. The ground on which the town is built is very hilly ; many of the streets are exceedingly inconvenient for carriages. A splendid view of Derry and its environs is obtained from the Cathedral tower. The Walls around the city are still in good preservation, forming a fav- orite promenade. From here a visit may be paid to the Grianan of Aileach, or Greenane, a famous Sun Altar about five miles from Derry, in the fine district of Inishowen, between Loughs Foyle and Swilly. It stands on a hill 802 feet high, embracing a view of the two beautiful Lakes ; Slieve Snaght, 2,019 feet high, and the ruins of several castles and strongholds of the O'Dogherty and others : and the Rock of Doune, where the Tyrconnels were inaugurated. Excursions can be made fromLondonderry to Malin Head (by rail to Buncrana) and to Inishowen (by public car to Moville, thence by hired car, twenty-five miles.) IRELAND. 49 The drive from Bucrana to Malin Head is twenty-six miles. The principal points of interest are Bucrana Castle, an old fortress of the O'Donnells ; eight miles further the Gap of Mamore ; the Cliffs of Dunaff (505 feet high) ; the neat little town of Cordonagh, on Trawbreaga Bay ; then Malin, from which the Head is but eight miles distant. This is the most northern point of Ireland, and though but 226 feet in height commands an extensive view of the coast. The drive to Inishowen Head takes the tourist past some fine country seats : the picturesque little watering-place, Moville; Greencastle (where the American mail steamers call), an ancient stronghold of the O'Dogherty's ; Dunagree Light- house ; and the Head itself. The view from the Head extends as far as Bengore Point, including Portrush, the Skerries, and the Causeway. Londonderry to Belfast, via Giant's Causeway. The railway from Londonderry to Coleraine runs along the shore of Lough Foyle, passing Newtown-Limavady on the right. There are some beautiful country seats in this neigh- borhood, among which Bellarena, the demesne of Sir F. Heygate, may be mentioned. From this to Magilligan, the cliffs tower overhead to a considerable height, forming a pic- turesque background. After passing Castlerock the line winds round by the banks of the Bann to Coleraine, where the tourist must change carriages for Portrush. Coleraine, famous for the quality of its linens and whisky, is about four miles from the sea. Our next station is Port Stewart, a rather pretty water- ing-place, and then we come to Portrush, at which place the tourist takes a car, and proceds along a road overlooking a fine sandy beach for three miles, when he reaches one of the $0 IRELAND. most picturesque ruins in Ireland, the far-famed Castle of Dunlure. It stands on an isolated rock, which rvses abruptly to the height of 120 feet above the waters. It is now in the possession of the Earl of Antrim. The country people believe that a banshee resides in a small vaulted room at the eastern side, and utters her "n.ournful wail" regularly at the ap- proaching death of any member of the Antrim family. Two miles further we reach Bushmills, an old town deriving its name from the fine salmon river Bush ; and after another drive cf two miles we arrive at the famous Giant's Causeway. The Giant's Causeway, one of the most stupendous and wonderful of Nature's freaks, consists of nearly one- fifth of a mile (1,000 feet) of upright basatlic columns, stu- pendous in size, varied in shape (as to the number of sides of each crystal), and so fitted to each other as no hand but that of the Divine Architect could have arranged them. They should be walked over, boated round (and into the caves) when the weather and a sea smooth enough will allow, and laid up in memory with Niagara, the Western prairies, and the Alps — whether the legend is or is not received, that the Cause- way was built by Finn McCoul, the Irish giant (original Fen- ian — properly " Fininan "), to allow a Scotch giant to come over and be lathered by him ! Leaving the Giant's Causeway we pass Coleraine, Ballymoney, Antrim, Carrickfergus to Belfast, at the head of Belfast Lough, 88 miles north- east of Dublin. Three bridges span the Lagan — Queen's Bridge, (on five stone arches), Lagan Bridge and the Ormean Bridge. The principal public buildings are Linen Hall, which occupies the centre of Donegal square ; Belfast Bank, corner of Waring and Donegal streets ; Custom House and Post- ICELAND. 51 Office, at the lower end of High street and Albert Square ; Town Hall and Court House. Objects of Interest. York Street (Mulhollands) Spin- ning and Weaving Company ; Richardson, Sons, and Owden's Linen Warehouses ; Andrew's Flax mill ; Marcus Ward and Co.'s Printing and Illuminating Works ; Harland and Wolffs Ship Building Yard, Queen's College, The Academy Schools, Royal Academical Institution, Presbyterian College, in Uni- versity Square ; Museum and Library, in College. Botanical Gardens by the water side ; School of Design ; Ulster Con- cert Hall ; new Theatre ; Albert Memorial Clock Tower, 147 feet high ; Dr. Cooke's Statue, in College Square : Baths and Washhouses, at St. Peter's Hill, built 1879. Cave ■#*# is a basalt peak (over chalk), from which a grand view of the town and Bay can be obtained ; Giant's Ring, a Druidical altar of much interest. There are several steamboat connections from Belfast to Scotland or England, viz : Belfast to Glasgow ) Scotland< " Ardrossan ) Belfast to Fleetwood ) c Al , " "Liverpool [ Scotland - The shortest sea route between Ireland and Scotland is Larne to Stranaer, which occupies about three hours. Leaving Belfast for Dublin we pass Newry, Dundalk, Greenore, Drogheda and the " Boyne Waters" and a number of small stations. After leaving Malahide the train enters a deep cutting, emerging near the Howth Junction from which Howth Hill is visible, then past Raheny and Clontarf Castle to the Amien's Street Station, Dublin. 52 IRELAND. Railway Stations.— Gal way, or Midland Great Western, near the Queen's Inns and Broadstone Harbor; Drogheda and Belfast, Great Northern (Ireland), near the Custom House and the Gal way line ; Great Southern and Western or Cork line, King's Bridge, a fine granite front (from which a branch was opened in 1877 to London and North Western Station at North Wall) ; Kingstown, in Westland Row ; Wicklow, in Harcourt street. The Irish gauge is 5 feet. Dublin, the capital of Ireland, and the second city of the the British Islands, on the Liffey, near Dublin Bay, 60 miles from Holyhead, and 292 miles from London. It is about 3 miles in diameter and 11 miles in circuit. The appearance of Dublin is very much improved of late years. Streets have been widened, new squares skillfully laid out, and many pub- lic monuments freed from buildings which concealed their beauties. But the most beautiful spectacle that can be pre- sented to the eye of a stranger, is the vast panorama which suddenly opens itself at Carlisle Bridge. In front lies the magnificent Sackville street, with its splendid hotels and the Column erected in honor of Nelson ; on the left the fine quays of granite, with their handsome balustrade, which bound for several miles the dark waters of the Liffey ; on the right, al- most with the reach of the observer, thousands of masts rise between the banks of the river, between two ranges of lofty houses, and, at the foot of that admirable building which, with its majestic portico, elegant colonnade, pavement of marble, and dome of bronze, more resembles a noble Venetian palace than a prosaic Custom House. From the heights of the Phoenix Park one also enjoys a splendid prospect. In the midst of a vast lawn rises the palace of the Viceroy. Turn- IRELAND. 53 ing the view toward the Liffey, the prospect embraces the heavy masses of the old city, with its steeples and towers, and the high mountains in the distance which enclose, as with a girdle, the county of Dublin. Except Irish poplins, and coaches (at Hutton's factory), the manufactures are of no consequence ; but the whiskey and porter business, and shipping trade, are important and in- creasing. A long Sea Wall and pier of three miles run to Poolbeg Lighthouse, commanding a view of the beautiful bay, which is 6 miles across, with a sweep of 15 or 16 miles; but the best points for viewing it are from the Hill of Howth(500 feet high) and Killarney (470 feet), at the north and south extremities, looking down in the city, on Dalkev Island, Kings Own Har- bor, Blackrock Bathing-place, and Clontarf. Another view is had from Dunsink Observatory ; but perhaps the best view of the city, &c, is that from Carlisle Bridge, which embraces not only Sackville Street, &c, but the Custom House, Post-Office, the Bank, and University on College Green. Public Buildings. — The bank is the most perfect build- ing in Dublin, built in 1739 for the Irish Parliament, in the Ionic style, 147 feet long. The old House of Peers has the Battle of the Boyne worked in tapestry, and Bacon's statue of George III ; and the House of Commons is a circular room 55 feet across. The Four Courts is a noble range 450 feet by 170, with a fine portico, and a dome 64 feet span, The Cus- tom House is near the Drogheda terminus. The Post Office, Sackville Street, built in 18 18, by Johnston, is 223 feet long, with an Ionic portico. The Inns of Court, near the Midland Railway terminus, are no feet long. The City Hall, or Royal 54 IRELAND. Exchange, on Cork Hill, near the Castle, built in 1779, by Coley, is a beautiful Corinthian pile, 100 feet square, and has Hogan's statue of O'Connell. Dublin Castle, the Viceroy's seat since 1500, in Dame Street, on Cork Hill, near College Green ; consisting of two courts, including government offices, St. Patrick's beautiful Hall, Armory, Chapel Royal (the Viceroy attends every Sun- day morning), in the modern Gothic style, and the great Birmingham Tower, where the records are kept. There are portraits of Viceroys in the council chamber. The Viceregal Lodge is in Phoenix Park, on the west side of Dublin, with the House of the Chief Secretary near it. The Park is 7 miles round, and contains Barracks, Zoological Gardens, the Wellington Pillar, 205 feet high, and another to Lord Chesterfield. Places of Amusement, Gardens, etc. — The Theatre Royal (burnt 1880) in Hawkins street ; the Queen's Royal, Great Brunswick street ; the Gaiety, in South King street. The Industrial Exhibition Building has been turned into a Winter Garden, and includes galleries, concert hall, lecture hall, refreshment room, conservatory, and pleasure grounds. The Phcenix Park Zoological Gardens. Archbishop Marsh's library contains 17,000 volumes ; the Dublin Library is in D'Olier street. Bridges. — Nine in all, 100 to 250 feet long. Beginning at the east side are — Carlisle, on three arches (reconstructed) ; Wellington, of iron ; Essex, or Grattan, 250 feet long, rebuilt in 1874, and since widened ; Richmond, near the Four Courts ; Whitworth, on the site of Ormonde Bridge ; Queen's, built in 1768 ; Victoria, built in 1858, of iron, in place of Barrack MAP OF SCOTLAND. imnT.TflTTF.n WITH PALMER'S EUROPEAN POCKET GUIDE. 56 SCOTLAND. Greenock. If the tide serves, steamer goes direct to Glasgow, otherwise passengers are landed at Greenock and proceed by rail to Glasgow. — Assuming that the tourist has reached Glas- gow by steamer or rail, the first matter of interest is the city of Glasgow. It is situated on the Clyde and crossed by five bridges. The principal is Glasgow Bridge, from which the tourist may obtain a good view of the harbor. Looking up the stream the course of the river can be followed for some dis- tance, affording a good view of the Custom House on the northern bank. The principal streets are Argyle street, Bu- :hanan street, Union street, Queens street. The West End Park is situated on the Kelvin, a small stream running into the Clyde. A short distance further on the Botanic Gardens are reached ; they are admirably laid out, and have a fine collec- tion of foreign and native plants. St. George's Square, which is in the centre of the city, contains several monuments ; the chief are Sir Walter Scott and Sir John Moore. The Post Office is also situated here. The Cathedral is the finest specimen of Gothic architecture in Scotland. There are eighty-one stained glass windows. The Cathedral is bounded on the east by the Molendenar Burns, across which the "Bridge of Sighs" leads to the "Necropolis" (burial ground), which is very tastefully laid out. The Royal Exchange is situated between Buchanan and Queens streets, and is one of the finest buildings in Glasgow. The Glasgow & Southwestern Railway Station, St. Enoch Square, is the finest in Scotland, being built somewhat similar to the St. Pancras Station (terminus of the Midland Railway), SCOTLAND. 57 London. A large and luxuriously appointed hotel, forming part of the station building, and called the St. Enoch Station Hotel, belongs to and is under the management of the Glasgow & Southwestern Company. Cab fares are is. per mile, every half mile beyond 6d.; half fare returning. Tramways (street cars) run in all directions, every few minutes. Omnibuses run from Buchanan street railway station to South Side stations, and from central parts of the city to all the suburbs and near towns not reached by the tramways. There are seven deliv- eries of letters in Glasgow, viz, 7.30 A. M., 11 A. M., noon, 2.10 P. M., 3 P. M., 4 P. M., 7.10 P. M, Places of Interest.

There are many pleasant tours through various parts of Scotland, available to go and return from Glasgow or Edin- burgh, and we are convinced that, if American travelers knew the beauty and cheapness of these routes, many would stop longer in Edinburgh or Glasgow, and take advantage of them. Daily, fortnightly and monthly tickets are granted by the railway companies for the Trossacks, Loch Katrine, Loch Lomond, Arran, Ayrshire Coast, Perthshire, Argyllshire, etc. Programmes may be obtained at any of the offices. The time of the tickets can occasionally be extended by paying an extra, percentage on the price. In a future edition a select list of the principal tours with prices, etc., issued by the chief railroad companies of Scotland, will be added. Glasgow to the Highlands. Royal Mail Route, via Crinan and Caledonian Canal. This voyage takes rank with any other of the same extent on the globe for picturesque and varied scenery. The tourist takes passage on one of Mr. David Macbrayne's Royal Mail steamers " Columba" or " Iona," which sails during summer every morning (Sunday excepted) at 7 A. M. from Glasgow, and about 9 A. M. from Greenock (leave Glasgow by Glasgow and Southwestern railway, St. Enoch's square), after the arrival of the express trains from London , Liverpool, Edin- buigh, Glasgow, etc. After leaving the Prince's Pier (Green- ock) the steamer passes the fine Esplanade and Battery point (at the west end of Greenock), and then we have the Argyle 60 SCOTLAND. hills in front, Loch Long to our right, with the summer re- sorts of Kilcreggan and Cove on the left. Seventeen miles from Greenock, Dunoon, a favorite watering place, is reached, after leaving which the steamer makes for the Bute shore on the left, and after a short delay at Rothesay, enters the Kyles of Bute, and here the scenery increases in interest and beauty. This strip of water is very contracted, there being only a little more than sufficient width to allow the steamer to pass through between the mainland on our right and the island of Bute on our left. Our next calling place is Tarbet. From here there is a daily coach to and from Campbelton, as also coaches waiting to convey passengers and mails to the head of West Loch Tarbet (the sail down this lake is very fine), from which is a daily steamer to and from Islay. Leaving Tarbet and pursuing our course northward, we come in sight of An- drishaig. Here passengers for Oban and the North land and proceed to the Crinan canal steamer " Linnet." This canal, which was formed to save doubling the Mull of Kintyre, is only nine miles in length, but has no fewer than fifteen locks. On entering the canal a good view is obtained of the village of Lochgilphead. On arriving at Crinan, the western terminus of the canal, we leave the "Linnet," and walk over to the pier, where we find the splendid saloon steamer " Chevalier " waiting our arrival with steam up and ready to start. Upon the right of the Bay of Crinan is the modernized Castle of Duntroon, and northward, on the same side, Loch Craignish, a fine arm of the sea, intersected by a chain of beautiful little islands, covered with ancient oak trees. The steamer proceeds through the Dorishmore or Great Gate, between the Point of Craignish and one of the SCOTLAND. 6l chain of islets just mentioned. On the south are the shores of Knapdale, and to the north the islands of Shuna and Luing, with Loch Melfort opening to the right. Two miles from ihe Point of Luing is Blackmill Bay, opposite which is the island of Lunga. Three miles farther north is the slate islet of Bal- nahuay, and farther to the west the Garveloch Isles. The Sound of Cuan runs between the northern extremity of Luing and the Island of Seil. The length of this beautiful and di- versified passage is about three miles. On the west side of Seil is the circular islet of Easdale, celebrated for its slate quarries. After passing Easdale and the Point of Argincaple, Loch Feochan opens on the right, and a distinct view is ob- tained of the broad-shouldered and double-peaked Ben Cruachan. To the north is the island of Kerrera, with the ruins of Gylen Castle occupying its southern point. This island forms a natural breakwater to the Bay of Oban. At the head of this bay is situated the pleasant and thriving village of Oban. Oban. — Those who desire to make the tours of Staffa and Iona, Loch Scavaig, Loch Coruisk, Skye. Gairloch and Loch Maree, land here, also those who wish to proceed by the morn- ing boat to Ballachulish (for Glencoe), while those intending to continue their journey to Inverness remain on board and go on to Banavie. Oban, not inaptly described as the Charing Cross of the Highlands, is a most convenient centre for mak- ing excursions in all directions. Oban Bay is much admired, and the heights surrounding it command one of the finest views in Scotland. Oban to* Inverness.— The tour of the Caledonian Canal is one of the most favorite in the whole of Scotland. 62 SCOTLAND. From Oban the steamer proceeds to Fort William and Cor- pach, the landing-place for Banavie, where there is a good hotel, looking straight over against Ben Nevis. The first loch entered is Loch Linnhe, bounded on the one hand by the craggy knolls of Appin, on the other by the hills of Morven ; this is the commencement of the chain of salt and fresh water lakes formed into the Caledonian Canal, and pre- sents on both sides scenery of a most romantic character. Oppo- site the upper extremity of Lismore, Loch Creran branches off into Lorn. The most prominent feature of this neighborhood is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, being 4406 feet above the level of the sea. At Corpach the canal proper commences with three locks ; and, a mile beyond, is a series of eight locks, called Neptune's Staircase. Each lock is 180 feet long, 40 broad, aud 20 deep. Here is situated the Hotel of Banavie, erected especially for the convenience of tourists on this route. Passing the villages of West and East Moy, the steamer, two miles farther, enters Loch Lochy, which is ten miles in length by about one in breadth ; near the west end there is a fine bay called the Bay of Arkaig. Leav- ing the village of Laggan on the right the steamer enters Loch Oich, which forms the summit level of the Caledonian Canal. It is a small loch about four miles long by half-a-mile broad. The distance from Loch Oich to Loch Ness is 5^ miles. There are six locks here through which the steamboat decends into Loch Ness. This loch is about 24 miles in iength ; it is of great depth in many places, and never freezes. A few miles farther on the right are the pier and hotel of Foyers, where the steamer stops to afford passengers an opportunity of viewing the famous falls. About 2 l /z miles from this, on the SCOTLAND. 63 left, are seen the ruins of Castle Urquhart, often noticed in the annals of the earlier Scottish monarchs. Glen Urquhart, which recedes behind the castle, is a beautiful Highland vale, containing some gentlemen's seats, and at the mouth of the glen, a good inn called Drumnadrochet. At the ferry of Bona, %y 2 miles from Drumnadrochet, the steamer enters Loch Doch- four by a narrow channel about a quarter of a mile in length. At Lochend the steamer again enters the canal and proceeds to Muirtown (the landing place for Inverness), where cabs and omnibusses await the arrival of the steamer. Inverness. — The capital of the Highlands is situated at the mouth of the river Ness, at the northern extremity of the Caledonian Canal. It consists of well-built streets, which occupy both sides of the river, and are connected by a suspen- sion bridge. The principal buildings are the Castle, Town Hall, in High street, and New Cathedral. A mile to the southwest is the cemetery, which is tastefully laid out with walks and shrubbery. An excursion should be made from Inverness to Stratlipefter, which is yearly increasing in population, not only on account of the well known curative powers of its mineral waters (sulphurous and chalybeate), but also because of its being one of the healthiest and most attractive places in the Highlands. The line from Dingwall to Strathpeffer passes through some of the finest mountain scenery in Scotland. Inverness to Aberdeen. — Leaving Inverness by rail, the first stopping place is Nairn, a fashionable watering place. The train then crosses the River Nairn by a handsome bridge, passes by Darnaway Castle, crosses the River Findhorn by an iron tubular bridge 450 feet in length, and reaches Forres. A run of about twenty miles in a northeasterly direction brings 64 SCOTLAND. the tourist to Elgin. The train passes Keith, Grange, Huntley and a number of small stations until we reach Aberdeen. Aberdeen. — Aberdeen ranks next to Edinburgh and Glasgow in point of general importance, and is considered the capital of the North of Scotland. It is situated on a cluster of eminences which rise along the northern bank of the River Dee, near its confluence with the German Ocean. Castle street is the place of the town. It contains the Town House, sur- mounted by a spire, the banks, and other public buildings, and, at its upper end, the cross. In Union street and King street there are likewise buildings worthy of inspection ; in the former are statues of the Queen and Prince Consort. Part of Union street is carried over a deep ravine by a bridge of granite 130 feet in span. To the west of the bridge are the Public Rooms. The other objects worthy of the stranger's attention are Marischal College, the Tranes' Hall, new hall of the Society of Advocates, Gordon's Hospital, and new infir- mary. Old Aberdeen, about a mile north of New Aberdeen, contains the Cathedral of St. Machar and King's College, both of which merit the tourist's notice. About a mile distant is the Brig of Balgownie, celebrated by Lord Byron in the tenth canto of Don yuan. From Aberdeen a very interesting tour may be made up the Dee to Ballater, Balmoral, and Castleton of Braemar, a district of country peculiarly wild, and exhibiting scenes of savage grandeur not surpassed by any other part of Scotland. The rail is constructed as far as Ballater, from whence coaches in connection run to Braemar. There are excellent hotels at Ballater and Braemaf, Scotland. 65 Aberdeen to Dundee. — Leaving Aberdeen the line skirts the coast as far as Forfar (from this point the traveler can proceed direct to Perth, without visiting Dundee). Chang- ing trains at Forfar en route to Dundee, the first Station cf im- portance is Arbroath, and from there along the sea coast to Dundee. Dundee — Situated on the north lip of the Firth of Tay, has a fine harbor, and is celebrated for the manufacture of heavy linens ; has also large shipping interest. Hotels — Queen's Hotel, Royal Hotel, Royal British Hotel. From Dundee by rail to Perth. Perth is one of the most ancient and beautifully situated towns in Scotland. The principal buildings are — St. John's Church, St. Ninian's Cathedral, the City Hall, the County Buildings, the Museum and Library, The most agreeable lounge in Perth is the old stone bridge overlooking the River Tay, and the North Inch. The environs of Perth include Mon- crieffe and Kinnoul Hills, to which there is easy access by car- riage roads, and the fertile Carse of Gowrie. A magificient view can be had from a spot called the Wicks of Baiglie, from which the traveler beholds stretched beneath him the vale of the Tay with its lordly stream, the town of Perth with its steeples and towers, the margin of the river studded with elegant mansions and a distant view of the Grampian Hills. Perth is a great touring centre, from which various routes diverge, and is pro- vided with excellent refreshment rooms and hotels. Leaving Perth we pass Crieff, which is picturesquely situa- ted and has many attractions for tourists, and after passing Dun- blane With its fine Cathedral we arrive at Bridge of Allan. 66 SCOTLAND, Bridge of Allan, under the Ochill Hills, is the queeti of Scottish watering-places, and is a great resort in summer. It is also much frequented in winter by invalids, on account of the salubrity of its climate. The bitter mineral springs, called Airthrey Wells (near Airthrey Castle, Earl of Aber- crombie), possess strong purgative qualities. There are several places of worship. The river Allan runs through the village, in which tolerable trout fishing may be had. The river Tieth, a much larger stream, is within an hour's walk. Loch Ard, and other lochs, famous for trout fishing, are easy of access. Leaving Bridge of Allan en route for Stirling a fine view is caught on the left of the Wallace Monument, Abbey Craig, anc after crossing the river Forth we arrive at Stirling. Stirling* is situated on an eminence near the river Forth and bears in its external appearance a considerable resem- blance to Edinburgh. The most interesting and conspicuous object is the castle, which was long the favorite abode of the Scottish monarchs. The palace, which was built by James V., is in the form of a quadrangle, and occupies the southeast part of the fortress. The buildings on the south side of the square are the oldest part of the castle. In one of the apart- ments, still called the Douglas Room, took place the assassi- nation of William, Earl of Douglas, by the hand of James II., after he had granted him a safe-conduct. To the north of the castle is a small mount on which (within sight of their castle of Doune) Murdoch, Duke of Albany, Duncan, Earl of Len- nox, his father-in-law, and his two sons, Walter and Alexan- der Stuart, were beheaded in 1824 by order of James 1. The view from the castle comprises to the north and east the Ochill Hills, and the windings of the Forth through the fertile Carse SCOTLAND. 67 of Stirling ; towards the west the vale of Menteith, bounded by the Highland mountains ; and the Campsie Hills close the horizon to the south. To the east are the town, the Abbey Craig, and the ruins of Combuskenneth Abbey, the Field of Bannockburn, and in a clear day the Castle of Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat are seen. Stirling Castle is one of the four for- tresses of Scotland which, by the articles of the Union, are al- ways to be kept in repair ; it is now used as a barrack. From Stirling the tourist may visit the Field of Bannockburn, 3 miles ; Cambuskenneth Abbey, by ferry 2% miles, and the Wallace Monument 2^ miles; also Castle Campbell and Rumbling Bridge, 12 miles; also Lake Menteith and Aberfoyle. The run from Stirling to Edinburgh may be made in either of two ways ; by rail, requiring a couple of hours, or by boat, occupying about three, and passing down the River Forth to the Firth, and landing at Leith (port of Edinburgh), with ex- cellent views of the Firth and its islands, Inch Keith, etc. In fine weather the latter is by far preferable. From Leith, if proceeding by boat, two miles by carriage to Edinburgh. Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, called the modern Athens, is one of the most beautiful cities of Europe. The city is built upon a series of ridges or hills. The first and highest hill, crowned by the castle, gradually declines east- ward towards Holyrood Palace, on which ridge and its slopes is built the old town of Edinburgh. The second, commenc ing to the southwest of the castle, is of smaller elevation, and runs in a southeast line to the foot of Salisbury Crags ; while to the north again is the third ridge, upon which nearly all the new town is built. The ramparts of the castle, the Carlton Hill, and the footpath on Salisbury Crags will be found the best points for viewing the city and surrounding country, 68 SCOTLAND. In the old town many of the houses are of Queen Mary's time, divided by narrow dark alleys. Between it and the new town are East and West Princes Streets Garden, which are beautifully laid out. Princes Street is the principal thorough- fare ; in it most of the hotels are situated. It is a mile in length and presents somewhat the appearance of an exten- sive terrace, commanding a striking view of the castle and the old town. Calton Mill, — By following the line of Princes Street eastward, the tourist is conducted to the Calton Hill — the acropolis of Edinburgh. In walking round, the monuments to Dugald Stewart and Playfair are worthy of notice as models of architectural elegance, as are also the columns of the National Monument, erected in honor of the heroes who fell at Water- loo, an ambitious design to restore the ancient Parthenon on a worthy site, but which unfortunately failed from want of funds. A magnificent panorama is visible in ordinary clear Weather, including the Firth of Forth, the distant Ochill and Lomond hills (Fife), the nearer Pentlands, and Arthur's Seat. It is worth while to ascend Nelson's Monu- ment, situated on a rock on the highest part of the hill, to ob- tain a more extended view. The top is reached by a winding stair, admission 2d. While in this quarter the touiist may see in the neighboring Calton churchyard, ths circular monument to David Hume, the historian. On the summit of the Calton Hill stands the Royal Observatory, a very chaste building, presided over by Professor Piazzi Smyth. On the southern slope is the High School, a massive classical build- ing. A little beyond it, on the other side of the road, is Burns' Monument, containing a number of relics and letters con- SCOTLAND. 69 hected with the poet (admittance 2d.)- From this the tourist should wend his way east down Cannongate to Holyrood Palace. Holyrood Palace (open daily, 6d., Saturday, free) and Abbey ; the latter founded for Augustine Canons, by David I., in 1128 ; but the palace for the most part is a building about 200 years old. The Gothic towers, doorways, and Chapel Royal, still remain. The palace, partially restored for the Queen, contains a quadrangle in the style of Hampton Court. Here Queen Mary was married to Darnley, in 1565 ; and Charles I. was crowned. They show Mary's bedroom and cab- inet, with the mark (?) of David Rizzio's blood. In the picture gallery there are about no manufactured likenesses of Scottish sovereigns, principally executed by De Witt, a Flemish painter. Queen Mary's dial is in the gardens. Arthur's Seat, in the park behind, 822 feet above the level of the sea, is surrounded by a fine carriage-way called the " Queen's Drive ;" on the north side are the ruins of a chapel dedicated to St. Anthony the Eremite. Salisbury Crags (forming part of Arthur's Seat) is a range of precipitous rocks ; and from the road winding round the foot may be seen the cottage of " Davie Deans," made famous by Scott's " Heart of Mid-Lothian," which con- tains the best description of old Edinburgh. The Castle of Edinburgh is in the old town, and ap- proached by the High Street and Castle Hill (carriages drive up to the head of the esplanade). Its principal attraction is the view which its commands, and which is well worth seeing. In an apartment of the palace yard called the Crown Room, may be seen (now without any order as formerly) the Scottish Regalia, the ancient insignia of Scottish royalty. Near this is Queen Mary's room (free), where she gave birth to James VI., ?0 SCOTLAND. in whom the crowns of England and Scotland were united. Visit also Mons Meg and St. Margaret's Chapel.

The Trossachs Tour, This tour can be made from either Edinburgh or Glasgow ; ii from the latter city en route to Edinburgh, reverse the route, i. e., take train from Glasgow to Balloch, and thence steamer, etc. ; if circular tour, Glasgow to Glasgow, this route from Stirling. In pursuing this journey from Edinburgh to the Trossachs, we pass on the way the old town of Linlithgow, with the ancient palace where Queen Mary was born, and then reach Stirling (see description). On leaving Stirling, the SCOTLAND. 73 railway crosses the river Forth, and then traverses an extensive plain. Near the Bridge of Allan Station the banks of the river Allan are reached, and a partial view of this sunny and deservedly popular watering-place obtained (see description). Then follows Dunblane, with its fine cathedral, worthy of a closer inspection than can be obtained from the railway ; then Doune, with the finely situated remains of Doune Castle, soon after which the train arrives at Callander, where coaches are taken for the Trossachs. Callander is situated at the foot of the chain of mountains which form the Highland boundary. It is a neat and regular modern village, very much improved since the opening of the railway, and containing numerous modern villas, which are let for lodgings during the summer months. The magnificent mountain Benledi, 2882 feet in height, closes the prospect to- ward the west, and forms the most striking feature of the scenery in this neighborhood (fine view of this mountain from Callander Bridge). To the westward two little rivers, issuing respectively westwardly from Loch Lubnaig and Loch Venachar, unite and form the Teith. At the east end of the village there is a so- called Roman camp. About a mile to the north of the village are the Falls of Bracklinn, one of the most attractive objects in the neighborhood, and which consists of a series of short falls, shelving rapids, and dark linns, formed by the Keltie Burn in its progress through a low rocky chasm. After taking on the passengers at the hotel, the coach leaves Callander by the west end of the village, and passes a number of elegant new villas. At Kilmahog toll-bar we leave the public road and take the narrow one to the left, crossing successively the rivers Leny and Teith. The bad state of the road to the 74 SCOTLAND. Trossach (which often creates surprise) is caused by its semi- private nature, It is in truth a private farm-road, usurped by the public during the summer months. At the lower point of Loch Venachar is Coilantogle Ford, the scene assumed by Scott for the combat of Fitz-James and Roderick Dhu. Loch Venachar is 4 and Loch Achray \]/ z miles long, and the space between these lakes is half a mile ; while from the western extremity of the latter to Loch Katrine is 1 mile, making the whole distance from 9 to 10 miles. Lanrick Mead, the mustering-place of Clan Alpine, lies on the north side of Loch Venachar, where the road diverges from the lake. Near the east end of Loch Achray the road crosses, by the Bridge of Turk, a stream which issues from the vale of Glenfinlas, a desolate tract of 10 miles in extent. Soon after passing Loch Achray, the traveler approaches the Trossachs (etymologically, bristled territory), situated between the hotel of Ardcheanochrochan and Loch Katrine, a distance of rather more than a mile in length. The opening into the pass is flanked on the left by Benvenue, 2800 feet high, and on the right by Ben A'an. In the defile of Bealach-anduine (where Fitz-James lost his "gallant grey,") we are in the heart of the great gorge. Then appears a narrow inlet ; a moment afterwards Loch Katrine itself bursts upon our view. JLocli Katrine is of a serpentine form, encircled by lofty mountains, and is 10 miles in length, attaining in some places a breadth of 2 miles. The scenery which fringes its eastern ex- tremity is precisely of the same wild character with the Tros- sachs, and is here beautified by an island, Ellen's Isle, similar to that described in the Lady of the Lake as the residence q( Douglas, SCOTLAND. 75 Embarking in the steamer which traverses this lake, from the Trossachs Pier to Stronachlachar, the tourist is carried close to Ellen's Isle, which seems to float in beauty on the water. On each side lofty mountains rear their heads toward the sky, and as the steamer passes between these Brobdignagian guardians of Ellen's Isle, we have Breanchoil, Letter, Edra- leachdach, Strongarvalty, Ardmacmuin, Coilchrac and Port- nanellan on the right ; with Glasschoil, Calogart, and more distantly, Benchochan, on the left. The white graveled bay under Breanchoil, called "Silver Sand," was the scene of the meeting represented as taking place between Ellen Douglas and the disguised king, after the latter had lost his steed. Soon the vessel approaches, on the right hand side, at the head of the lake, several thickly wooded islets, on one of which are the ruins of MacGregor's Castle, and spread before and around is a vista which for perfection of beauty rivals, if it does not excel, any other scene in the whole of Scotland. Be- hind expands the lake in all its varied beauty, and on either hand rise the giant mountains Ben Venue and Ben An ; but of these there could not probably be a beiter description than has been given by Sir Walter Scott, and we may therefore dispense with any attempt at doing again what has already been done so well . A passing glimpse is obtained of Ben Lomond on the left, shortly after which we reach Stronachlachar Pier situated on a pretty bay near the western extremity of the lake. At the hotel an open coach is waiting to convey tourists to Inversnaid on Loch Lomond. Half way to Inversnaid we meet with Loch Arklet, completely- obscured by the shadow of Ben Lomond, from which the Ar~ 76 SCOTLAND. kill flows, falling into Loch Lomond at the inn of Inversnaid, where it forms a beautiful cascade. Loch Lomond (" the lake full of islands") is unques- tionably the pride of Scottish lakes. Its length is about 23 miles, its breadth, where greatest at the southern extremity, is 5 miles, from which it gradually diminishes, till it terminates in a narrow prolonged strip of water. The depth varies con- siderably ; south of Luss it is rarely more than 20 fathoms, in the northern part it ranges from 60 to 100 fathoms, and in the places where deepest never freezes. The total super- ficies of the lake is about 20,000 acres. It contains about thirty islands, ten of which are of [considerable size. About two- thirds of the loch, and most of the islands, are in the county of Dumbarton; the rest, with the right bank, is in the county of Stirling. After taking on board the tourists from Loch Katrine, the steamboat visits the upper part of the lake (Inverarnan Pier and Hotel, bus 6d.), where tourists for Glencoe and Fort Wil- liam disembark. The loch is here narrowed and hemmed in by the mountains of Glenfalloch, which afford some beautiful scenery. The steamer on its southward journey sails by Invers- naid and Tarbet, where there are excellent hotels. Farther south, at a projecting headland, is Rowardennan Hotel* the usual starting point for the ascent of Ben Lomond. This mountain is 3192 feet above the level of the lake. The dis- tance from the hotel to the top of the mountain is 6 miles of continued ascent. The view from the summit is varied and most extensive, comprehending the counties of Lamark, Ren- frew and Ayr, the Firth of Clye, and the islands of Arran and Bute to the south ; and the counties of Stirling and the Loth- ians, with the windings of the Forth, and the Castles of Stirling SCOTLAND, 77 and Edinburgh to the east. On a promontory jutting into the lake on the west side is the village of Luss. From this, south- ward, the breadth of the lake expands rapidly, and the surface of the water is studded with islands of many sizes and various aspects. We pass in succession, Inch-Cruin, or the Round Island (formerly used as a.retreatfor lunatics); Inch Moan, or the Peat Island, and Inch Fadn, and on the right Inch Tava- nagh (to the south of which the ruins of Galbraith L Castle start up from the water), Inch Lonaig (used as a deer-park by the family of Luss), Inch Carachan, Buck Inch, and Inch Cardach. At the northeast corner of Inch Cailliach passengers may be landed at Balmaha, a Highland pass. The steamboat next ap- proaches the little island of Clar-Inch, from which the Buchan- ans took their slogan or war-cry. The southmost and largest island is a long narrow one, named Inch Murrin, which is finely clothed with wood, and kept as a deer-park by the Duke of Montrose, whose seat, |Buchanan House, is on the neigh- boring shore, though hardly visible from the steamer. At the southern extremity of the loch, after passing an old ruined fortalice, called Lennox Castle, formerly a residence of the Earls of Lennox, we reach Balloch, from which passengers pro- ceed by train, via Dumbarton, to Glasgow or Edinburgh. Moffat. — This noted Spa can be reached by Caledonian Railway from Edinburgh or Glasgow to Beattock, the nearest railway station (two miles distant); omnibuses meet the trains. Moffat has long been famed for its mineral waters, (the sul- phur spa, discovered in 1623, and the iron springs at Harbfell, in 1730,) and visitors will find every accommodation. There is a Hydropathic House at GallowhilL The environs are re- ?& SCOTLAND. markably beautiful. Baths of mineral water or otherwise can be had at the bath-house adjoining the Annandale Arms. Moffat Well is about a mile and a half from the town. It is reached by a very pleasant road, which ascends slightly the whole distance. Near the springs, and flowing through the linn upon the side of which Moffat Well is situated, is a charming little burn, named the Well Burn. The water will not keep well, and even when tightly corked up in bottles its sulphurous odor is very quickly lost. No Lime should be wasted in drinking it as soon as drawn. Public balls and promenades are held at the Baths weekly, during the season. Here also, in the summer time, there are occasional concerts, balls, soirees, flower-shows, etc., and an instrumental band. Besides these attractions, there are at the Baths, news-rooms, billiard-room, bowling-green and circulat- ing library. The angler has an excellent choice of lake, burn, and river fishing, without having to trouble himself by obtaining per- mission, for, during the season, the waters are open to all. There is a fine stock of game on the hills and dales around Moffat, and there are walks, drives and excursions in almost every direction. Routes Bel ween Scotland and England.— The three great railroads of Scotland which connect with the English roads are Glasgow & Southwestern Railway (west coast route), Caledonian Railway (mail route), North British Railway (east coast route), all centreing at Carlisle, where connection is made with the English lines. All the principal railways issue, during the summer months, tourist tickets, which permit the holder to break the journey at several stations en route, and ENGLAND. 79 visit, at their leisure, places of interest in the vicinity. These advantages, and the facilities offered by the respective lines» can be ascertained by consulting their advertisement at end of book. For instance, tourists from Edinburgh and Glasgow traveling by the West Coast Royal Mail Route (Caledonian & London & Northwestern) are entitled to break the journey at Carlisle, Penrith, Oxenholme, Carnforth and other stations > for the purpose of visiting the English Lake District. England. Suppose that the passenger does not land at Queenstown, and that he comes out ^>f or away from the harbor with the ship, the first prominent point made is the rocky island and light ot Ballycotton, then that of Mine Head, then the Hook Tower (nearly off Waterford), then Conigsberg Lightship, and finally the tali white light of Tuskar. The ship then " squares away" across the channel, and in about seven hours after leav- ing Tuskar the bold, rocky headland of Holyhead is made on the starboard bow (right side of vessel). Glimpses may be caught of little Welsh villages nestled at the foot of the high lands. The mouth of the Mersey and Liverpool are almost in view, and along with us are scores of vessels under steam and sail inward bound, while passing outward on their way to all parts of the globe are enormous ocean steamships, stately clip- pers just catching the wind, and dispensing with the aid of the powerful tugs, and scores of other vessels belonging to the commercial navies of all maritime people. The North West Light Ship is then made, then the Bell Boy on the bar clangs its warning, then Formby and Crosby Lightships are passed. On the right is the Rock Light at New Brighton, and then comes 80 ENGLAND. the long line of docks, revealing the great port and city of Liverpool. Travelers who desire both to learn and enjoy should never permit themselves to lose the first approach to any new coast or any great port, even if a little broken rest and discomfort should be found necessary to secure it. In no other way can the general situation and bearings be so well attained, and to miss the opportunity once may be to miss it finally. Many do lose it, in the anxiety to look after baggage, change clothing, etc., but this should never be done. Baggage should have been looked after, if at hand, before ; that in the hold can be looked after as it comes up, when the ship is at anchor ; and there is no occasion whatever of coming out in one's best clothes until reaching the hotel and washing off the grime of the voyage. JLiverpool, situated on the north side of the river Mersey, is the largest seaport on the globe. Its docks are the most magnificent in the world, extending over six miles in length. The hurried traveler will undoubtedly visit the chief points of interest in a cab or hack. The following rate will be found useful : For one or more passengers, one shilling per mile, and sixpence for each additional mile or portion thereof. From midnight to 6 a.m., one shilling and sixpence per mile, and ninepence for each additional mile or portion thereof. The principal places of interest : The docks (take an outside seat on the tramway that runs along the docks) ; St. George Hall, Lime street ; the Free Public Library and Museum, Town Hall, Dale street ; the New Exchange, Exchange street ; Custom House and General Post-office, Canning Place ; the Botanic Gardens, Edge Lane (near the Edgehill railway station)); Wavertree ENGLAND. 8l Park, adjoining the Gardens ; Corn Exchange, Brunswick street ; Newsham Park, on the West Derby Road ; the Royal Institution, Colquit street. Sefton Park, the property of the corporation, is the largest of the public parks of the city, and comprises 382 acres. It is laid out with great taste, and at a vast expenditure. The lake is a favorite resort in the winter fcr skaters, and in milder weather for the sailing competitions of model yachts ; the latter being a recreation much indulged in. Railways.— All the principal railways of England have depots in Liverpool, and offer inducements to tourists to break their journeymen route to London, The London & Northwestern Rail- way depot is in Lime street. The Midland. Great Northern, and Manchestsr & Sheffield Railways have joint access to the Cen- tral Station in Ranelagh street. The Great Western Railway's terminus is at Birkenhead (ferry from landing stage). The hurried traveler, or those who wish to see London first and visit the places of interest after, will choose the London & Northwestern route, as it is the shortest ; others, with more time, will choose a route by which they can visit the places they desire en route. A short description of each line will enable the traveler to choose that which suits his purpose best. The London and North Western Route. — The short- est and most direct route from Liverpool to London is by the London & North Western Railway Express services, in five hours. Thirteen express trains each week-day. Saloon car- riages, provided with lavatories, etc., are attached to the day trains, and sleeping cars by the night expresses. Many of the first-class carriages are provided with lavatory accommoda- tion. 82 ENGLAND. Tourists traveling by this route and wishing to visit Chester, Leamington, Kenilworth, and Stratford-on-Avon, on their way to London, are supplied with special tickets without any extra charge. Upon receipt of a telegram from Queenstown, the station master at Lime street station will arrange to attach saloon carriages to any of the through trains for parties of six first-class passengers, and upward, without extra charge. Compartments can be reserved for four first-class or six second- class passengers. Omnibuses will also be sent to meet the steamer on arrival at Liverpool, to convey passengers to the North Western Hotel (which is specially appointed tor the con- venience of American travelers) at a reasonable charge. " Busses" are also supplied when previously ordered to meet the trains on arrival at Euston Station. Arrangements can be made for sending on to the London terminus or to the company's West End office, Golden Cross, Charing Cross, or to the depot of the American Exchange, any articles of baggage that passengers adopting the London & North Western line may desire to be forwarded to await their arrival or order. The weight allowed free of charge is, first- class, 120 lbs.; second-class, ioolbs.; third-class 60 lbs. For a charge of 6d. per package baggage can be registered at Lime street station, and delivered at any given address, within uie usual delivery boundary in London, Birmingham and Manchester. In like manner, passengers returning to America can have their baggage registered for delivery in Liverpool. The Midland Railway. — Passengers by this route pass through the picturesque portion of the celebrated Peak of Derbyshire, Matlock, Derby, Leicester and Bedford etc. ENGLAND. 83 Family carriages, fitted with saloon compartments, lavatories etc., for parties of seven or more first-class passengers travel- ing together, can be obtained from Liverpool or London on ap- plication to the station master at either terminus the day pre- vious. For break of journey and other advantages consult ad- vertisement. The Great Northern Railway. — Passengers by this route pass through Manchester, Sheffield, Lincoln, Grantham, Peterboro, etc. For particulars of route see Company's time- table. Great Western Railway. — Passengers by this route take ferry at landing-stage to Birkenhead, then through Ches- ter, the Vale of Gresford, passing the Vale of Llangollen, through Shrewsbury, Birmingham, Warwick, Leamington (for Strat- ford-on-Avon, Kenilworth, and Coventry), Woodstock (for Blenheim), Oxford, Reading and Slough. Passengers ^holding through tickets may break their jour- ney at Warwick or Leamington, to visit Stratford-on-Avon and Kenilworth, and at Oxford to visit the Colleges and Blenheim Palace. For other advantages see Company's time-tables. Prominent English Watering Places. Batll. — A handsome old town lying on the Avon, ten miles from Bristol (on the Great Western Railway). The tempera- ture of Bath is very mild and warm. The natural hot springs are four in number, known respectively as the Hot Bath, the King's, the Queen's, and the Cross Baths. They rise near the centre of the city. The Hot Bath is the highest in temperature, 117 degrees, and yielding 128 gallons every minute. The King's 84 ENGLAND. is found in a handsome Grecian structure; the building is open to the sky, except where a colonnade extends on one side. The yield of water is 20 gallons per minute, temperature 114. The charge for admission is one shilling. Adjoining is a mag- nificent pump-room, measuring in the interior 60 by 56 feet. During the season promenade concerts are held here on Tues- days, Thursdays and Saturdays, between the hours of 2 and 4. The charge for drinking the water is five shillings per month, is. 6d. per week, and4d. per glass. The Queen's Bath (admission one shilling) derives its water from the King's, slightly lessened in temperature, but not otherwise different. The Cross Bath now comprises a swimming, tepid and plunging bath ; admis- sion sixpence. Those who are suffering from gout, rhumatism, palsy, or chronic diseases of the liver are often greatly relieved and some- times cured by the Bath water. Taken internally, the water acts as a stimulant. Early morning is the best time for drink- ing. Victoria Park, an enclosure of some ten acres of shrub- beries and plantations, form an elysium for children and their nurses on week days, and a pleasant stroll for citizens on Sun- days. The Victoria Column is here ; also the Botanical and Horticultural Gardens. Milson street contains the principal retail stores, and is the fashionable lounge. There are balls, ites, etc., during the season. Brighton (Sussex) is the most celebrated of the English marine watering places. If one wishes, while leaving London for the seaside, to change as little as possible one's London habits, to see the same kind of people, the same kind of shops, enjoy the same kind of luxuries, then Brighton is the place to be chosen. Or if prolonged absence from the metropolis be ENGLAND. &5 out of the question, then again Brighton is the very thing, f.r nothing is easier than to leisurely breakfast there, within the roar and scent of the sea, and be in the office or on the mart at the usual time, to remain the usual hours, and then with equal leisure to return to the family dinner table to spend the even- ing afterward in the neighborhood of the chalky cliffs of Eng- land's sea-side capital. The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway have sev- eral branch lines in Brighton, viz.: London Road, Cliftonville and Kemp Town, thus enabling tourists to reach any part of the town by rail. Leaving the principal terminus we see before us a long road sloping from the station and leading to the sea, a glimpse of which can be discerned in the distance between the houses. Passing down Queen's Road and West Street we reach King's Road. This busy and attractive thoroughfare is ; about three-quarters of a mile long, lined with shops equal in appearance to some of the best in the metropolis. Here in the height of the season, when thronged with gaily dressed people on foot, in carriages, or on horseback, it is like one side of Piccadilly confronted by the open sea. On the beach below are bathing machines, fishing and pleasure boats, groups of boatmen, children, bathing women in blue dresses and novel readers. We are between the two piers ; on our left is the Pavilion, the Steine, the Chain Pier, the Aquarium and the Es- planade ; on the right the New Pier, Grand Hotel, Hove, West Brighton and Cliftonville. We decide to turn to the left ; here we have the pavilion, which was purchased in 1849 by the Brighton Corporation from the Crown, redecorated, considera- bly altered, and since used for public purposes; it contains a con- cert hall, capable of accommodating 3000 persons, a Public %6 ENGLAND. Library and Reading Room, Chinese Gallery, BanquetingRoom, Music Room, the Green Drawing Room, the Yellow Drawing Room. The State and Reception Rooms are preserved, and are opened every day to the public on payment of sixpence each person. The Pavilion Grounds, over seven seres in extent, are well laid out and form a very pleasant resort. The Royal Aquarium (the greatest attraction of Brighton, to see which visitors come expressly from London and many other places, and which, although it has produced many imi- tators, is as yet unsurpassed) is situated at the foot of the cliff of the marine parade, and extends from near the bottom of the Steine to the Chain Pier. It can be reached from the station by an omnibus ; fare, twopence. The building is 715 feet long and 100 feet wide. Price of admission, one shilling. The tanks containing the marine animal are ranged on each side of two long corridors, crossed by another corridor which com- municates with the conservatory, ferneries, fountains, cascades and many other picturesque attractions. Band plays daily. Promenade concerts afternoons at 3, evenings at 8. The alli- gator and crocodile caverns were recently completed and are now open to visitors. The Chain Pier, just beyond the Aquarium, now somewhat superseded as a fashionable promenade by the more showy West Pier, is worthy of being still considered one of Brighton's greatest lions. Admission to the Pier is gained on the pay- ment of twopence for each person ; in the tower and at the en- trance are stalls, or small shops, where pebble ornaments, jewelry, knick-knacks and "Presents from Brighton" are sold. Beneath the Pier are galleries and flights of steps for the accommodation of boating parties. ENGLAND. 87 Between the Pier and Kemp Town is a noble road protected by a sea-wall and lined with houses — -generally devoted to let- ting in apartments. Retracing our steps, and again starting from the corner of West street in a westerly direction along the Kings Road, we have the Grand Hotel, which is one of the finest buildings of the kind in England ; it contains over 150 bedrooms. A little further on we come to the West Pier, which is opposite a fine enclosure called Regency Square. The entrance from the Esplanade is 265 feet wide, with ornamental gates and tollhouses, and beyond is an abutment — 290 feet long and 140 feet wide — from which a broad flight of steps, and side-inclines for bath chairs and other wheeled vehicles, lead to the main portion of the Pier, a promenade 560 feet long and 56 feet wide. Beneath the Pier are landing places for passen- gers by steamer and boat. Not unfrequently 2000 people are on the Pier at the satoe time, and 10,000 have been known to visit it in one day. The admission is twopence each person. Band performances are given at intervals ever} 7 day, Sunday ,iincluded. Tivoli Gardens, which are very prettily laid out, adjoin the Preston Railway Station in the suburb of Preston. They are reached by a threepenny omnibus. Queen's Park. — (This beautiful park lies between Park Road West and the Kemp Town extension of the railway.) It is about one-third of a mile long and a quarter of a mile wide on the slope of the downs ; near the entrance, separated from the Park by a light rail, is the German Spa and Pump Room, famous for the manufacture of Brighton seltzer water. The chief post-office is in Ship street, and is open from 7 A. M. to 10 p. M. ; there are six mails daily to London ; there arefou«" 88 ENGLAND. deliveries of letters daily. Telegraph offices at chief post office, Ship street, West Pier, Queen's Road, Victoria Road. Buxton (Derby). — This celebrated watering-place stands in the Peak district of Derbyshire. The old town of Buxton is joined to the new by an immense pile of buildings called the Crescent, which is chiefly occupied by two hotels, viz., the Crescent and St. Ann's. Immediately opposite the hotel, and at the western angle of the hill, is St. Ann's Well, a spring in use for centuries, clear and tasteless, and possessing a stimu- lating property. A pavilion, concert hall, and rink, were opened in 1876, on land given by the Duke for a park, and laid out by Paxton. Baths. — There is a public bath for each sex, and two pri- vate plunge baths for gentlemen, and two for ladies. About a mile from Buxton is the cavern called Toole's Hole, which attracts crowds of tourists. Two miles from Buxton is the Diamond Hill, where the ' Buxton diamonds" are found, and close by is a tower built by the Duke of Devonshire. In addition to the provision made for visitors by the assem- blies, library, news-rooms, riding school of the circus, there are two weekly newspapers, both dealing with topics interest- ing to visitors. The walks and rdes are very interesting. The Wye is mostly famed for its salmon, trout, and greyling, of which great quantities are found. It contains also a few pike and perch. Along the banks of the Wye walks are laid out, and beautifully ornamented with cascades, miniature lakes, rustic bowers, seats, etc. The Duke's Drive is a promenade and ride of four miles, curving through Ashwood Dale and over Wye Dale. The walk to Chee Tor from Toply Pike is one of the many favorites of the Buxton visitors. It runs ENGLAND. 89 along the bank to Blackwell Mill ; there the river is crossed by stepping-stones ; and a short distance over the cliffs on the opposite side is the wonderful Chee Tor — a mass of rocks three hundred feet high, overgrown by light foliage and wild flowers, and commanding a view so refreshing as to make the traveler forget the fatigue of his long walk as he looks down along the banks glittering in their light summer beauty and tiny waterfalls. Cheltenham (Gloucester). —Pleasantly situated in a valley sheltered by the Cotswold Hills, is celebrated for its Medicinal Waters, and has been for the last sixty years one of the most elegant and fashionable watering-places in England. There is railway communication from all parts of the Kingdom. The Great Western Railway Company's Station is in St. James' Square, and the Midland Railway Station is at the end of Queen's Road. The season for drinking the waters is from May to October. The Assembly Rooms are on High street, which is three-quarters^of a mile long. A little on one side of this is Pitville Spa and Pump-room (built in 1824), with its Grecian portico and dome, in the midst of pleasing grounds. On the other, the promenade leads to the Montpellier Spa and Rotunda Pump-room, and Lansdowne Crescent. A Pump- room, built in 1803, stands at the old Wells, first used in 1716, and is approached by an avenue of elms. There is also the Chalybeate Spa. Both contain aperient salts of soda and magnesia, with a little iodine and iron ; of great benefit in weak stomachs, liver complaints and plethora. The parks and gardens about the town have much picturesque beauty. A Winter Garden and Rink, of brick, iron and glass, is 250 by 450 feet, with dome 100 feet high. go ENGLAND. A Proprietary College, in the Tudor style, which is growing into a large and important school, was built in 1843, 240 feet long. There are many excellent private schools, and many of the most important residents are attracted, and remain solely for the purpose of educating their children. In the neighborhood are many good walks and points of view, viz. : Battledown, Leckhampton Court and Cleck Cloud, 1,134 feet high. Behind Leckhampton are the Seven Springs, one of the principal heads of the river Thames. Southam Delabere is the Tudor seat of the Earl of Ellen- borough. Boddington Manor, Charlton Park. Eastbourne (Sussex) has within a very few years become fashionable as a watering- place. It lies about three miles west of Beachy Head, and is much recommended for its bracing air. It can be reached in one hour and forty minutes by frequent trains from Victoria and London Bridge Stations, the London termini of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. Eastbourne town is about a mile and a half from the beach or Sea Houses, the actual watering-place. The Sea Houses com- prise hotels, lodging-houses, baths, etc. The bathing is very good, and a number of machines are employed. It has also the advantage of mineral springs, the waters of which are said to resemble those of Clifton. A Theatre, Ball-room, Library and Reading Rooms are among the principal attractions ; and Ihere are good walks and rides. The Devonshire Park, eleven acres in extent, is a fashionable resort for visitors, and has ex- tensive cricket, lawn-tennis, and croquet grounds, with indoor and outdoor skating rinks, concert hall, billiard-rooms, restau- rants, etc. Beachy Head, three miles, should be visited ; it is the most stupendous chalk cliff along the coast, being 564 feet ENGLAND. 91 in perpendicular height ; and when the storm rages along the Channel it has a grand and sublime appearance. Great Malvern (Worcester).— This healthy and fashion- able watering-place consists of Great and Little Malvern, about 4 miles apart, under a cool and bracing climate, on the slope of the Malvern Hills, a long, blue smoth ridge, 8 to 10 miles long, on the borders of Worcestershire and Herefordshire, dividing the valleys of the Severn and Wye. The Worcestershire Bea- con, near Great Malvern, is 1,445 f eet h'gh ; the Herefordshire Beacon, near Little Malvern, is 1,300 feet. They were forts which commanded the pacses through the hills. The chief re- commendation, next to thelnineral springs, is the pure and in- vigorating air, an advantage which renders it well adapted for the fashionable hydropathic, or Water Cure, system here carried out with much success at the establishments of Drs. Gully, Wilson and Raynor. Hotels and boarding-houses are numer- ous, and the walks and drives of great beauty. Malvern Col- lege is a modern building, and there is a good Museum St. Anne's and Holywell Springs, much- resorted to, are slightly tepid and sulphurated, and are useful, especially in glandular and skin complaints. Pump-rooms are attached to each, and a church has been lately built at the Holywell, which is nearest Little Malvern. Among the places worth visiting will be round Eastnor ; the views from its castle and beautiful grounds are very fine ; and Bransil Castle and ruins. Ross, further on, is reached through orchards and hop-fields. West- wood Park is the seat of Sir John Packington. At Knights- ford Bridge, on the river Teme, the visitor can find a comfort- able inn and refreshments ; and from the Wych or Wynch, 92 ENGLAND. command a view that makes one giddy, looking on the im- mense plain below. Leamington, on the Leam (a branch of the Avon), which, before 1784, was an obscure village, is now, though still rural and picturesque, become a handsome town, and a well- regulated municipal borough. The railway communication by the Great Western and North Western companies, each of which has a station in the town, brings Leamington within reach of visitors from every part of the kingdom ; and whether for a permanent residence or for occasional resort, few places pos- sess so many attractions as this highly-favored town. The hotels are excellent for size and comfort, and the shops equal to those in the metropolis. It abounds also with elegant houses and detached villas, and the lodging houses for visitors are most convenient and well-arranged. It is very healthy. Its rise and present importance are attributable to its celebrated springs, the curative properties of which are so fully established as to be annually resorted to by vast numbers of invalids, be- sides a constant succession of fashionable visitors. Leamington possesses, among its numerous attractions, a fine Tennis Court and Racket Ground, attached to an elegant pile of buildings, forming the Pump-room and Baths, built 1813, made up of a middle pile 106 feet long, and wings, facing Jephson Gardens. It has two newspapers, the Advertiser and the Courier ; a Literary and Scientific institution ; Public Library and News Rooms, on an unusually spirited scale ; Assembly Rooms, Music Hall, in the Parthenon ; Theatre Royal.

Cheap publish; of archery is much practiced, there being clubs at Leamington ENGLAND. 93 and Wellesbourne, in addition to that connected with the re- nowned Forest ot Arden. There are new artesian waterworks. The Jephson Gardens, delightfully situate in the centre of Leamington, are easily accessible to visitors, and very attrac- tive. During the summer season a first-rate band performs there daily ; and galas, archery and horticultural fetes are fre- quently held in them. The Arboretum and Pinetum, established by John Hitchman, Esq., comprises upwards of eleven acres, formed for the exclu- sive cultivation and sale of plants. It contains a hydropathic house, an extensive collection of choice coniferous trees, rare shrubs, roses, rhododendrons, etc. The Warwickshire hounds hunt within an easy distance of the Spa, about the middle of October. A pack of hounds is kept at the Leamington Ken- nels. Leamington College is established upon the principle of our public foundation schools, under the superintendence of distinguished masters. Leamington is situated in the midst of a finely-wooded and romantic neighborhood, and is contiguous to Warwick Castle (the road to which is only exceeded by the road from it), the fine old town of Warwick, the ruins of Kenilworth Castle, the beautiful park of Stoneleigh Abbey, Guy's Cliff, Offchurch Bury ; the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, renowned as the birth- place of Shakespeare ; the city of Coventry, full of antiquities ; and Birmingham, celebrated for its manufactures.

Scarcely any traveler but is advised that London lies on both sides of the river Thames, at some fifty miles from the mouth of that river. It is the most interesting of all the great cities of the Old World, and the largest of the civilized globe. London extends into four counties — Middlesex, Surrey, Kent and Essex — but by far the largest portion is contained in the county of Middlesex. Practically, London is divided into five principal divisions, viz., the City, the West End, the East End, the Northern Sub- urbs, and the South, or "Over the Water," as it is called ; i. §. — If hired by distance, the charges for a Hansom and a four-wheeled cab — technically, a " Clarence," colloquially, a " Four-wheeler " — are precisely the same.

PALMER'S European Traveler's Telegraph Code IP RE FACE. There have been, from time to time, several small telegraph codes compiled for the use of travelers, but they have failed to become pop- ular for the following reasons. First, the words selected were not suitable or safe to use. A code to be perfect, or as near perfection as possible, must be telegraphically checked, i. e. words only being used whose telegraphic characters are not likely to conflict in trans- mission, thus reducing the chances of error to a minimum. Second, that the phrases so arranged did not embrace one-half those used by travelers. The publisher of Palmer's European Pocket Guide has had thirteen years practical experience on cable and land lines in all parts of Europe and America. Believing with his experience of travel, and both the cable and land system ot working telegraph lines, he could compile a code better than those already in use, and one which could be universally used and adopted, he published in 1880, Palmer s European Travelers Telegraph Code. Its popularity (if concurrent, personal and written testimony may be credited) and usefulness to Americans in Europe has induced him to extend it and ako leave a number of blank ciphers for private phrases so that a personal code can be arranged between anv two or more persons. Care must be taken in filling in phrases to see that all books agree and that the latest edition 174 PALMER'S EUROPEAN TRAVELER'S TEL. CODE. of the code is used. Copies of Palmer's European Pocket GuiDE.which also contains the telegraph code, can be had from any of the agents, or ordered through any bookseller, or sent post-paid on receipt ot price (50 cents), by J. E. Palmer, 128 Broadway, New York.. ( Telegraphically checked words, for the compilation of large com- mercial cable codes, supplied at reasonable rates.) Persons going abroad should request the party they are likely to communicate with to register their name and address at the Cable |Company's offices or the chief telegraph office of their town (free of charge), so that this intormation can be given in as few words as possible. For instance : Mrs. Grant, 530 Fifth avenue, New York, expects a message from her daughter in London, and has arranged with her to address the message "Grant, New York." She notifies the Cable Company to this effect, and leaves with them her full address, and thus saves four words in the address of the message. A telegraph code is similar to a dictionary — the code word repre- sents the phrase opposite it. The following illustrations may be necessary to make it thoroughly understood by all. For instance, the following messages are received : Grant Newyorh. Alcove Florence, Referring to code (both parties, of course, must have a copy), it will be found to m^an, " In consequence of the illness of Florence, we are de- tained here for the present. Please send our letters here accordingly." In this case eighteen words are saved ; i. "* PM ill ©a* ©» 1 *»P fi ' as S « ^2^ fa $ * - .j» * e.oS^e ©s e a^°*3 2?
