"The preparation of the 'Short-Trip Guide to America' was induced by the practical success of the Guide to Europe, on the same plan, and the generally admitted want of some hand-book for tourists in America, fitted for pocket-use, and railway, carriage or steamer reading, by convenient size, clearness of type, and giving the data most ordinarily required, while carefully avoiding tedious and unnecessary details. Such a book had long been regarded as a necessity."
