The object of Mdrkas’s Handbooks is to give matter-of-fact descnp- ;
j tions of what ought to be,seen at each place, and is calculated to interest an t
?intelligent English traveller, without bewildering him with an account of i
! all that may be seen to avoid chronological details, and instead of
1 abridging the records of a town from beginning to end, to select such local ;
; anecdotes as are connected with remarkable events which have happened j
: there, or with distinguished men who have lived there to adopt as simple 1
’and condensed a style as possible, avoiding florid descriptions and exagge¬
rated superlativesand to use the descriptions of others, where good and j
, correct, rather than obtrude extracts from the Editor’s own journals.
