    PRKFACK, siderablo savinu- of expenditure. The asterisks indieale these hotels and restaurants which the Editor lias reason to helieve good and reasonahle. Houses of a more modest character, when good ol their class, are described as ‘good’ or ‘very fair’. At the same time the Editor does not doubt that good (piarters are obtainable at houses both of the first and second class that he has not recommended or even mentioned. It should, moreover, be borne in mind that hotels are liable to constant changes, and that the treatment of travellers often varies according to cireumstances which cannot be loreseen or controlled. The Editor begs to tender his grateful thanks to travellers who have sent him information for the benelit of the Handbook, and hopes that they will continue to oblige him, esiiecially with the results of their own experience. Hotel-bills, with annotations showing the traveller’s opinion as to the accommodation, are jiar- tieularly useful. To hotel-proprietors, tradesmen, and others the Editor begs to intimate that a character for fair dealing and courtesy is the sole ])assport to his commendation, and that advertisements ot ever_\ kind are strictly excluded from his Handbooks. Hotel-keejiers are also warned against persons representing themselves as agents lor llaedeker’s Handbooks. Abbreviations.
