In those volumes which treat of counties, there is first a general description of the country—­its situation, physical features, flora and fauna, climate, inhabitants, industries, history and archaeology.  Then follows an account of the chief towns and places of interest in alphabetical order.

The books are not guides in the ordinary sense of the word.  They do not give the usual routes for expeditions, information about hotels, etc., but they contain information which may be sufficient for the ordinary tourist of literary tastes, and they form not only practical handbooks, but delightful gift books.
