"It is certainly the most perfect Railway Guide that has yet appeared. As an 'official' work, it has authority when speaking of the history and statistics of the line: all is done well. Few books descriptive of tours contrive to tell so much, describing all that is worthy of description by the way, and conducting the traveller along each branch as the points are arrived at where each branch diverges from the trunk."-ATHENAUM. "A marvel of cheapness-being, perhaps, the cheapest book ever produced under any circumstances; and, whether as a guide-book or a work of reference, it is worthy a place in every library."-NEWS OF THE WORLD. "This useful and delightful volume, which is a perfect marvel of cheapness, is prefaced with many interesting railway statistics, and useful directions to the traveller. The book, indeed, is so useful aud entertaining, that every one who has travelled, or intends to travel, ought to have it, while he who has made up his mind to stay at home can find no better substitute for travel."-LIVERPOOL MERCURY.

"Mr. George Measom's Official Illustrated Guide to the Great Western Railway is the continuation of a remarkable series of illustrations, literary and pictorial, of country crossed by our great English railway lines. The abundance and excellence of the information, and the good woodcuts given in these works for a shilling, is one of the literary marvels of our day. The shilling official guide to the Great Western itself contains 872 pages of letterpress, with a woodcut or several woodcuts upon almost every leaf."-EXAMINER. "The largest shilling's worth of reading we ever saw. This interesting publication is a marvel of cheapness. The illustrations are well chosen and well executed, and the letterpress is written in the plain unvarnished style which characterises the previous works of the observant traveller, Mr. Measom." -BRISTOL MIRROR. "The Official Illustrated Guide to the Bristol and Exeter Railways.—This valuable guide is exactly similar in style and construction to the larger companion volume noticed above, giving descriptive illustrated notices of the different places on the various lines. No person travelling in South Wales and the West of England should be without this new official guide."-BRISTOL MIRROR. "Illustrated Railway Guides.-Mr. George Measom has just added to his previous achievements one which cannot fail to excite the greatest astonishment. He has published The Official Guide to the Great Western Railway-a bulky volume, containing nearly 900 pages of well-printed descriptive matter, and 300 well-executed engravings-the charge for which is the absurdly low sum of one shilling! The book is the cheapest book ever published in the world, and the editor may well speak of the studious toil' necessary to get up such a mass of information relative to such a multitude of places. Mr. Measom has also puhlished The Official Illustrated Guide to the Bristol and Exeter, South and North Devon, South Wales, and Cornwall Railways. If it were not for its gigantic companion, this Guide must be pronounced marvellously cheap."-LIVERPOOL MERCURY. In the Press, ready in June, 1861.

ALL LANGUAGES SPOKEN. The GRAND HOTEL DE LYON is too important and too well known to require injudicious praise: it suffices to state that it cost nearly THREE MILLIONS OF FRANCS, and that the accommodation is of so comfortable and luxurious a character as to attract the notice of all visitors. Although the GRAND HOTEL DE LYON affords the most elegant accommodation for the highest classes, it is frequented by visitors of the humblest pretensions. Rooms at 2 frs., very comfortably furnished. TABLE D'HOTE at 4 frs. In consequence of the Proprietors having contracted with the Bordeaux and Burgundy Wine-growers for supplies of their Best Wines, qualities of the first vintages may be had at this Hotel at moderate prices. Since the Hotel has been in the hands of new Proprietors, instead of a Company, the reduction they have made in the prices precludes them from paying Fees to the Cab and Coach Drivers at the Railway Station. Travellers are therefore requested to bear in mind that the Grand Hotel de Lyon is situated in the centre of the Rue Impérial, near the Bank of France, and opposite the Palace of the Bourse.
