Exactly this week last year, we reviewed at some length
the "Hand-book for Travellers in Holland, Belgium, and Northern Germany ;"tual now we are called upon to chrooicle the appearance of its fellow, the Hand hook fin. Travellers in Southern Germany. With respire to fitness for its end—utility on the road, all that we said or this! first may he said dill° second; and with this addi- tion, that whilst information could readily be obtained touching the Low Countries, the Rhine, and Northern Germany, few persons and fewer bookmakers have wandered through Styria, Catinthia, Candela, and Hungary, not to mention the Tyrol, Bo- hemia, and Austria. As a book for home perusal, this volume is scarcely equal to its predecessor—the general sketches or the countries prefixed to the detailed particulars respecting them being fewerand less interesting; but, under existing circumstances, we know not that we can give our readers better advice than to put this book in their pocket, " money in their purse," and to run down the Danube till the fear of the plague and the Pashas stop the timid, whilst the bolder may push on even to the Black Sea and Constantinople.
