CRITICAL OPINIONS of the ALPINE GUIDE. 



* By far the most scientific and 



complete Guides to which the English 



traveller has access We have 



examined the Guide very carefully — in- 

 deed, it is so interesting as to have no 

 small attractions fur the general reader, 

 even without the additional stimulus of 

 any intention to follow the various routes 

 discussed : and so far as our experience 

 of the Tyrol goes, it is beyond praise.' 

 Spectator. 



' These three volumes form the 

 simplest and completest Guide to the 

 Alps in our own or any other language. 

 Every tourist who has tised either or 

 both of the two previous volumes knows 

 from experience how useful the> are. . . 

 Mr. Bail is entitled to our congratula- 

 tions that he has lived to achieve his 

 self-appointed task, and now to put the 

 finishing touch to a work which will 

 doubtless long preserve his name, and 

 associate him with the many intrepid 

 Alpine adventurers who have made the 

 high Alps better known to us than they 

 would have been for perhaps 'a century 

 to come but for their numerous and 

 arduous ascents and explorations.' 



Athen^um. 



' No other Guides convoy half so 

 much interesting and valuable scientific 

 information, though they may be more 

 copious in their gossip about inns and 

 refreshments. The geologist, mineralo- 

 gist, entomologist, and botanist may all 

 here find directions to their most coveted 

 treasures, and it is altogether written in 

 a style which puts it far beyond the com- 

 mon run of Guide-books. It is full of 

 interest even for those who never have 

 visited, and never intend to visit, these 

 districts.' English Independent. 



' The Author's style is clear, easy, 

 and, if we may be permitted to say so, 

 'pedestrian in its character. It goes 

 leisurely, gives the reader time to look 

 about him and examine stone or plant, 

 and is not unmindful of such hints as are 

 useful to those who, though they do not 

 want to know only where the best inns, 

 and the easiest carriages, and the most 

 recherche dinners are to be found, are yet 

 disposed to make themselves comfortable 

 when they have ended their day's journey. 

 There is a healtliy simplicity and com- 

 pflnionship in this volume which seems 

 to have been somehow developed in the 

 mountain air.' Illustrated Times.
