MR. S. RUSSELL FORBES'S EXCURSIONS.
ARCHÆOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL
PROMENADE LECTURES
ON THE ROMAN ANTIQUITIES,
_BY MR. S. RUSSELL FORBES, 93 VIA BABUINO_.
It is acknowledged by the _élite_ of the British and American visitors to Rome, that the only way to understand and enjoy the Antiquities of the Eternal City is to attend the interesting and instructive Archæological and Historical Lectures delivered on the spot by Mr. Forbes, whose long residence and close study have qualified him to be an authority on the subject.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"Mr. Forbes's long personal acquaintance with Rome gives him access to sources of information which are beyond the reach of ordinary tourists, and confer special value on his oral as well as printed explanations of the antiquities of the city."--_Swiss Times._
"Mr. Forbes has been a close student of Roman history, and for a period of some sixteen years has been familiar with all the excavations and the developments they have made. To be in his company and to hear his explanations is therefore to reap many advantages which even the best informed student of written history could not gain if left to himself."--_Boston Journal._
"Mr. Russell Forbes is endowed with a thorough classical education and great ability of research, and it is most delightful to be privileged to hear his learned lectures, and while here to be conducted by him."--_Cleveland Herald._
"His explanations are remarkably clear and concise."--_Hartford Evening Post._
"Mr. Forbes has done most excellent and scholarly work upon the recent excavations in demonstrating by the classics the exact location of ground famous in the history of Rome; and though he often dissipates beyond hope of revival popular conceptions, he always supplies a clear historical view."--_Boston Transcript._
"Mr. Russell Forbes's lectures are not merely dry, pedantic expounds of history and art, but are truly most admirable, entertaining, and instructive interpretations. Englishmen and Americans have always found Mr. Russell Forbes's lectures one of the great pleasures in going to see our monuments, and of special and uncommon advantage on their trips."--_Roman News._
"And what an explanation it was! No mere guide-book chatter, no parrot-like repetition of an oft-told and wearisome story, but an intelligent conveying of historical facts, evincing a genuine love for research, a profound admiration for the work of the ancient days when Rome ruled the world, and a deep regard for those trophies which the hand of time and the vandalism of man have left to teach us the history of the past."--_Tourist Chronicle._

RAMBLES IN ROME.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"All who mean to stay in the Eternal City should be provided with Mr. S. Russell Forbes's 'Rambles in Rome.'"--_The Critic, New York._
"If you are visiting Rome you will find in this book a high-class companion and guide. Try it, and see the difference between the mere guide-book produced by the trade to sell, and the chatty, masterly production of a writer of ability and taste."--_Sword and Trowel._
"It combines a great deal of out-of-the-way historical and archæological knowledge, with a minute acquaintanceship with the ruins and other remains of Rome."--_Glasgow News._
"An intelligently-written and well-arranged guide-book."--_Spectator._
"Copiously illustrated and well provided with maps and plans."--_Chelmsford Chronicle._
"A compact and instructive book, which will be a most useful adjunct to the traveller's knapsack."--_Life._
"Will undoubtedly prove a valuable hand-book to all who desire to see and study the Rome of to-day in a systematic fashion."--_Glasgow Herald._
"It is more than a guide-book; it is a book of reference, and should be in every library."--_Newport (R. I.) News._
"It would be difficult to recommend a more serviceable volume."--_The Italian Times._
"The guide is pleasant reading even by the fireside."--_American Register._
"Best, newest, and cheapest guide to Rome."--_The News._
"One great merit of Mr. Forbes's book is that he deals with his subject in a business-like way. He briefly states what he knows about it, without indulging in any rhapsodies or gushes of sentiment, or suggesting to his readers what thoughts ought to surge up in their mind as they gaze upon any given scenes or monuments."--_Saturday Review._
"The volume is profusely illustrated, and is incomparably the most valuable guide to Rome and its antiquities."--_Christian Union._
"With its limp cover and pictures, it will be found a very handy pocket volume to walk about with."--_The Guardian._
"It deserves commendation for two very conspicuous merits. It is the work of an author who thoroughly understands his subject, and it is remarkably direct and simple in style."--_Scotsman._
"The traveller or resident in the city will find the book of solid and constant value."--_Boston Congregationalist._
"This is a very interesting work, by the well-known archæologist and lecturer, Mr. Forbes, who gives the reader the benefit of his thorough knowledge and familiarity with the subjects on which he writes. A stranger visiting Rome, who desires to see, if not all, at least as many wonderful sights as his time will permit, cannot do better than peruse Mr. Forbes's book, which will enable him to see much more in a less time and with greater benefit to himself than if he trusted to the guidance of some of the numerous cicerones with which the Eternal City is infested."--_Travel._
"'Rambles in Rome' will prove a friend in need and indeed to all who contemplate visiting the Eternal City."--_Musical Herald._
The FOOTSTEPS of S. PAUL in ROME.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The Rev. Dr. James Macgregor, writing from Edinburgh, says, "I read last night for the first time, and have now lying before me, 'The Footsteps of S. Paul in Rome.' Few books of late have given me more pleasure."
"We have also received a copy of 'Footsteps of S. Paul in Rome,' by the same author, and can only speak of it in terms of the highest commendation."--_Travel._
"The work is very valuable. It is as true an account as probably will be written of S. Paul's stay in Rome."--_Newport (R. I.) News._
Professor Francis W. Upham of New York says, "The essay is evidently a labour of love--a model of patient thought and accurate investigation, and of great interest and value."
"Full of interest, as being connected with Paul's everyday life, of which but very little is known to the great mass of Christendom."-- _Chelsea Telegraph._
THE ROMAN CATACOMBS.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"Mr. Russell Forbes has at last supplied a concise, practical, and original illustrated handbook for the small price of two shillings. The object of his historical manual is to tell the facts from personal study and exploration--biased only for the truth."--_Roman News._
"Full of useful antiquarian lore, and suitably illustrated."--_Literary World._
"It is compact, well printed, and copiously illustrated with clear woodcuts."--_Saturday Review._
"A great amount of lucid and well-arranged information about these curious and interesting early Christian cemeteries."--_Scotsman._
"The book is well illustrated, and is the only one that has ever appeared in the English language giving facts drawn from a direct study on the spot."--_Travel._
"Very interesting and valuable. It has the decided advantage of being written by one thoroughly conversant with the subjects he treats."--_American Register._
RAMBLES IN NAPLES.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"This is another excellent guide by the author of 'Rambles in Rome;' and is by far the most practical guide to Naples and its environs that has been issued. Visitors will find in it all they want to know."--_Continental News._
"An indispensable _vade mecum_."--_Swiss Times._
"Described in a popular manner."--_Continental Gazette._
"Useful and practical."--_American Register._
"Amply illustrated, and with good maps and plans, the new edition (third) of 'Rambles in Naples,' by Mr. Russell Forbes, promises to be as popular as his well-known work on Rome."--_The News._
"Concise, interesting, and reliable."--_The Roman Times._
"Will be found a most useful guide."--_Saturday Review._
