A List of the Volumes in
The Mediæval Town Series
"That most charming series of books."—Notes & Queries
"There was ample room for a series which should put into the traveller's hand a compact résumé of what the research of local historians had discovered and arranged. This series has gone far to provide for this want. Such volumes as "Assisi" and "Florence" are indispensable companion-volumes to Baedeker."—Times
"The series is one of the first-rate things in the bookmarket."—Daily News
"An extremely pleasing series.... The volumes are fully illustrated, and the letterpress, charmingly written, is a perfect mine of information."—Graphic
"The intelligent traveller has not been long in recognising their worth."—Guardian
"Brought out with the dainty care for both artist and reader that we have a right to expect from Aldine House."—Saturday Review
"For the library they are perfection, a pleasure to handle, as they are also a pleasure to read."—Daily Telegraph
"They are guide-books, books for study, and books for reference, and at the same time little galleries of art."—Illustrated London News
London: J. M. Dent & Co. Aldine House, Bedford Street, W.C. 1903

Mediæval Towns
The enjoyment of foreign travel is so largely dependent upon the sympathetic appreciation of the charms and treasures of the place visited that a tour may be wholly marred by an indifferent or ignorant guide; and so rarely is that charming companion to be found whose local knowledge is co-extensive with his artistic instincts, that one has perforce often to pursue one's journeys in search of the picturesque unattended. In such circumstances the Mediæval Town Series fills the breach, furnishing a guide whose knowledge is that of an authority, whose descriptions do not weary us with their garrulity, and whose opinions we may treasure in the safety of our coat pocket; to which, also, we may always refer with pleasure when we wish to revive faded recollections.

Artist and author have both made the objects and scenes described the subject of careful personal observation, and are consequently able to impart to their work that charm of local colour which lends vitality to their pictures; every old-time thoroughfare and weather-beaten fabric supplies some legend of saint or hero, and as the story of these mediæval towns progresses, the reader's imagination is kindled until the very spirit of the past pervades the page.
