Excerpt from The Eastern Alps: Including the Bavarian Highlands, Tyrol, Salzburg, Upper and Lower Austria, Syria, Carinthia, and Carniola; Handbook for TravellersDistances by railway and road are given approximately in English miles, and in the case of mountain-excursions they are expressed by the time in which they are usually walked. Heights are given in accordance with the new Austrian Ord nanlce Survey, or from other recent authorities (reduced to Engl. Feet; '1 Engl. Ft. Metre). The populations are those ascertained by the latest census.Hotels. The Editor has endeavoured to enumerate, not only the first-class hotels, but others of a less pretending kind, which may be safely selected by the 'voyageur en gar gon', with little sacrifice of comfort, and great saving of expenditure. The asterisks indicate those hotels which the Editor has reason to believe to be provided with the comforts and conveniences expected in an up-tdate establishment, and also to, be well managed and with a reasonable scale of charges. Houses of a more modest character, when good of their class, are described as 'fair' or 'very fair'. At the same time he does not doubt that equally comfortable accommo dation may often be obtained at hotels which he has not starred or even mentioned. Hotel-charges, as well as car riage-fares and fees to guides, are stated in the Handbook, either in accordance with the personal experience of the Editor, or from information furnished by numerous travellers. They are of course liable to frequent variation, and generally have an upward tendency; but those mentioned in the follow ing pages will at least afford the traveller an idea of his probable expenditure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
