OF THE

CONTINENTAL TRAVELLER,

AND

"The work will be found a trustworthy indication to the continental visiter; the appended observations on climate and travelling are of a sensible character.”—British and Foreign Medical Review.

His book is not one of those "guides" which is as uninteresting as useless, but it gives information in a manner calculated to please as well as to instruct. The remarks on the influence of climate and advantages of travelling are good."-Medical Times.

His medical remarks as to residence are of particular value.”—Douglas Jerrold's Paper.

"It is admirably adapted for home-reading as a book of travels,' and the medical ability of its author renders it an exceedingly useful work-as a hand-book to foreign parts, we would also recommend it for its conciseness and simplicity."Critic.

"The general reader will find this an amusing book-the invalid a useful book.”—Edinburgh Advertiser.

"There is an air of candour and discrimination about the author's professional views, which commend them to the respectful attention of general readers."-Leeds Times.
