In condensing into one volume what Baedeker could hardly comprise in nine, and 
Murray in fifteen. Professor Loomis has accomplished a herculean labor, which his 
countrymen should not be slow to recognize. With characteristic good sense, he has 
given only brief reference to routes, hotels, and cost, devoting his space to history, 
mythology, and art. He has met the work with a discrimination and intelligence 
which can hardly be too highly praised. 
“ Only words of praise can be spoken of this work.” 
“The best and completest.” 
“ By all odds the best Guide I have ever seen.” 
“And something- better than a guide-book.” 
“Almost a triumph of genius in bookmaking.” 
Part I.— Scenery , Art , History , Legends , and Myths , including descriptions of places, 
buildings, monuments, works of art, and the historical facts, legends, and myths 
connected with these. 
Part II.— Plans and Catalogues of the Art Galleries of Europe .

AN IDYL OF THE SUMMER ISLANDS. 
BERMUDA. 
By JULIA C. R. DORR. 
With Map. One Volume, 12mo, $1.25. 
“ A delicious book in its bright descriptions of a sunny land, where winter snow and frost 
are never known. There is very little of hard, dry description in the volume, but there is much 
of accurate information deftly conveyed in a bright, off-hand manner, and the whole, work is so 
permeated by a sympathetic feeling and comprehension for that which is most fascinating in Ber¬ 
mudian life, that we get a vivid impression of naturalness from the reading of its pages.” 
—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
