SECOND EDITION. PRICE ONE FRANC. ROME, PRINTED BY BARBERA. 1879. All rights reserved and secured. PREFACE. Sight-seeing in Rome presents so many difficulties to the stranger, that unless a systematic List of localities to he successively seen in one direction be made and followed out, much time is wasted running hither and thither. The plan adopted in these pages will be readily under stood, and on experience it will be found that each List may be accomplished in the course of a morning or afternoon. An early start is recommended in order to allow time to take rest and refreshment in the middle of the day. The name of each locality is given in Italian, that the ¦ stranger may be directed on his way by any one who can read, or by referring to the annexed plan of the city giving a bird's eye view of the principal edifices and ruins. Reference to Murray or Bsedecker's Guide-Books will supply all historical and archaological information which is not here attempted. Sallying forth every morning and afternoon according to this plan, Rome may be seen in ten days, after which the visitor will cease to be a stranger here and can utilize his further sojourn in revisiting what mostly interests him, and in making excursions to the environs of the City. The success of the first Edition of this little Guide has induced the compiler to issue this second Edition, which has been more leisurely prepared and the information extended, whilst a few hints have been given as to the best way of visiting Naples and the cities of chief interest in the north of Italy. A description of the routes to and from Italy has also been added. ROUTES TO ROME.* 1 The most direct and economical route from London is Via Dover and Calais to Paris (10 V, hours), thence by the Mont Cenis tunnel to Turm (21 hours). Genoa, Pisa and Civitavecchia Rome (19 hours). Fare: Lst. 10, First class, Lst. 7, second class. NB. — No second class between Paris and Turin by the Express trains. 2. As in Route N. 1 as far as Turin and Alessandria; there branching off Via Bologna to Florence, Arezzo, Orte to Rome. Difference of time employed traveUing two hours longer. NB. — This route is not recommended, Florence being seen to greater advantage on the traveller's return homeward on ms way to Venice and Milan.* 3. From London and Paris to Marseilles, thence alon^ the " Cor nice " road, viz : Nice, Mentone, Savona, Genoa, Spezia, Pisa, and Civitavecchia to Ro'me. Msiy be performed in 62 hours. Cost of locomotion about Lst. 12, First class ; Lst. 8, second class.' GENERAL INFORMATION. Money. Gold being quoted lower than Drafts, or Bills of Exchange at the " Bourse " in Italy, it is a mistake for travellers to encumber themselves with gold coins ; whilst Letters of credit oifer the three fold advantage of safety, higher value, and convenience in carrying. Some Bankers, in order to secure their correspondents' clients, induce London Firms to issue Letters of Credit on which money can be drawn only through them. Such Letters of Credit should not be taken by travellers, who are thereby put to great incon venience, besides losing on the Exchange, which in Italy is very elastic, money-changers giving more than bankers. Circular-notes are the best form of Credit as, besides the Firms mentioned on the Letter of Indication, money-changers * See Routes from Rome homeward Vi.a Switzerland; Page 21. - 3 - and others cash them with the same facility and at the same exchange as Bank of England notes. The Italian newspapers often misquote Exchange-rates, which may be consulted at the Roman Bourse, and are also posted up at 76, Piazza di Spagna, and at 95, Via Condotti.

Eai-ly start recommended, upwards of 40 miles having to be di-iven altogether, and Hadrian's villa taking about a couple of hours to visit properly. If pressed for time need not see the Villa D'Este, which may be caUed a modern ruin, but rather make sure of visiting Hadrian's ViUa.

TAVELFTH DAY.* Saturday.

The ascent is made on donkey or horse back; price 2 francs from Albano to Monte Cavo returning by the lake of Nemi. O- TRIP TO NAPLES. Spring and Autumn are the most favourable seasons to see : Na]^es, the atmosphere being then clear and temperate. The city of Naples offers little of interest besides the Museum which may be seen in a day and a half aUowing the tourist to proceed to Pompei by the midday train. Sorrento may be reached " These excursions should not be taken successively, but whenever the weather permits and the visitor feels inclined to vary sight-seeing with a day in the country. The excursion to Cstia is now performed by railway train at 8. 16 A.M. - 20 - the same night, so that on the third day an early start may be made to the Island of Capri where the Blue grotto and Anacapri may be seen. On the fourth day if the traveller makes an early start he can return to Naples by sea or carriage and railway and proceed to BaisB where good accommodation may be procured at the hotel. On the fifth day Cape Misenum may be visited by carriage returning to sleep at Naples. On the sixth day the ascent to Mount Vesuvius may be made leaving early by carriage via Portici to the foot of the cone whence the remainder of the way is accomplished on foot in about an hour. If it is fatiguing and difficult to ascend ; the descent another way on the ashes offers a different perplexity, that is how to stop. A railway up m' Vesuvius is to be built next spring. -O- TRIP TO THE NORTH OF ITALY. About the middle of April the cold and foggy weather pre valent during winter in the nothern cities of Italy gives place to a genial temperature which is most favourable to sight-seeing.
