THE editions of the "SHORT-TRIP GUIDE," for the seventh year, 1874, will be found to retain all the features of freshness, conciseness, reliability, and absence of all tiresome and unnecessary verbiage, which have made the previous editions, since its commencement in 1868, so popular, and (if concurrent personal testimony may be credited) so useful to Americans in Europe. At the same time many and important changes have been made, in faithful pursuance of the original plan-not to allow a single page to stand without rewriting or alteration, when additional observation or late event has rendered alteration necessary. Among the favorite new features of last year, to be found retained in the present issue, are the fuller descriptions of Vienna, Dresden, Berlin, and some of the other continental cities, now dividing with Paris the leading interest of Ameri cans; and the concise and very valuable tabular papers, "Most Direct Routes from London and Paris, to Principal Cities in Europe," with Fares, Time, &c., (pp. 369 and following.) And among the new features of the present year, will be found a much longer and more complete list of "Optional Routes: Choices of Successions for Short-Trips on the Continent" (pp. 191 and following), by consultation of which the most intelligent courses for saving time, money and fatigue, may be arrived at with remarkable ease; as also a material amplification of "Hints for Poland, Russia, Sweden, &c.," making the great Northern Tour more intelligible than it has been rendered in any previous publication.
