“An excellent Guide to this interesting old town, its antiquities, curiosities, surrounding scenery, botany, and, in short, all that an inquiring tourist could wish to inspect in a visit to Shrewsbury.”—_Literary Gazette_. “It will be found to be an admirable companion to the antiquities and other noticeable points of the place; and when the visitors leave the old town this guide will call to mind its outward forms and semblances. This book has much more permanent value than guide-books usually have. Would that books of greater pretensions were always as complete!”—_Pictorial Times_. “Made memorable by the pen of the inimitable bard in his play of _Henry IV._, the town of Shrewsbury naturally becomes an object of curiosity to the reader of Shakspere. Excited by this feeling, we took up this little volume, and we were so well pleased with it that we step aside from our usual course of passing by publications of a local character to notice its excellence. It is tastefully and correctly printed, amply illustrated with numerous and beautiful wood engravings, and its descriptions graphic and clear, so as to render it a pleasing and unerring guide to the visitor of Shrewsbury, instructive to the historical and architectural antiquarian, the traveller, and the general reader. “We recommend it to all whom business or pleasure may call to that ancient and celebrated town.”—_Liverpool Chronicle_.
