(rt.) right, (1.) left,-applied to the banks of a river. The rt. bank is that which lies on the rt. hand of a person whose back is turned towards the source, or the quarter from which the current descends.

Miles.-Distances are always reduced to English miles, except when foreign miles are expressly mentioned.

The names of Inns precede the description of every place, (often in a parenthesis,) because the first information needed by a traveller is where to lodge. The list of prices affixed in some instances, are copied from the actual charges in the bills; but they will often be higher for English travellers posting in their own carriages, with a courier, than those here set down.

Instead of designating a town by the vague words "large" or "small," the amount of the population, according to the latest census, is almost invariably stated, as presenting a more exact scale of the importance and size of the place.

In order to avoid repetition-the Routes through the larger states of Europe are preceded by a chapter of preliminary information, and to facilitate reference to it, each division or paragraph is separately numbered with Arabic figures.

Each Route is numbered with Roman numerals-corresponding with the figures attached to the Route on the Map, which thus serves as an Index to the Book-at the same time that it presents a tolerably exact view of the great highroads of Europe, and of the course of public conveyances.

The Map is to be placed at the end of the book.

PERSONS ERSONS going direct to Rotterdam, or any other Dutch port, must obtain a passport from the Dutch minister, at his private residence, or from the Dutch consul, 123. Fenchurch Street.

At the present moment, while the differences between Holland and Belgium are still unsettled, there is great difficulty in passing from the one country into the other, as neither of the respective ministers will on any account attach
