From “Scotsman,” June 2, 1884.

“C. B. Black’s Guide-books have a character of their own; and thatcharacter is a good one. Their author has made himself personallyacquainted with the localities with which he deals in a manner in whichonly a man of leisure, a lover of travel, and an intelligentobserver of Continental life could afford to do. He does not ‘get up’the places as a mere hack guide-book writer is often, by the necessityof the case, compelled to do. Hence he is able to correct commonmistakes, and to supply information on minute points of much interestapt to be overlooked by the hurried observer.”
