"Mr. Metcalfe’s book is as full of facts and interesting
information as it can hold, and is interlarded with racy
anecdotes. Some of these are highly original and entertaining.
More than this, it is a truly valuable work, containing a fund of
information on the statistics, politics, and religion of the
countries visited."--_Blackwood’s Magazine._

“Miss Kavanagh is a woman of genius and imagination. She has a
graceful and brilliant pen, much observation of character, and a
keen eye for the aspects of nature. Her volumes contain much that is
new. They are among the pleasantest volumes of travel we have lately
met with, and we can cordially recommend them. Readers will find in
these volumes the glow and colour of Italian skies, the rich and
passionate beauty of Italian scenery, and the fresh simplicity of
Southern life touched by the hand of an artist, and described by the
perceptions of a warm-hearted and sympathising woman.”--_The Press._
