Solid flexible covers.; Later printing of the 1873 7th Edition, Revised and Augmented, of this seminal American guide, openly modeled on Baedeker. "The chief object of the Handbook for New England is to supply the place of a guide in a land where professional guides cannot be found, and to assist the traveller in gaining the greatest possible amount of pleasure and information while passing through the most ancient and interesting district of Anglo-Saxon America. . The Handbook is designed to enable travellers to visit all or any of the notable places in New England, with economy of money, time, and temper, by giving lists of hotels with their prices, descriptions of the various routes by land and water, and maps and plans of the principal cities. . The plan and structure of the book, its system of treatment and forms of abbreviation, have been derived from the European Handbooks of Karl Baedeker. The typography, binding, and system of city plans also resemble those of Baedeker, and hence the grand desiderata of compactness and portability, which have made his works the most popular in Europe, have also been attained in the present volume." - Preface. Illustrated with six maps and 11 plans, and limited travel advertising on the endpapers and reverse of the free endpapers.; xvi, 447, 2 ad pages. Illustrated by 6 Maps and 11 Plans (illustrator).…
