WILLIAMS"S TRAVELLER"S AND TOURIST"S GUIDE
Through the United States, Canada, &c.
This book will be found replete with information, not only to the traveller, but likewise to the man of business. In its preparation, an entirely new plan has been adopted, which, we are convinced, needs only a trial to be fully appreciated.
Among its many valuable features, are tables showing at a glance the _distance_, _fare_, and _time_ occupied in travelling from the princ.i.p.al cities to the most important places in the Union; so that the question frequently asked, without obtaining a satisfactory reply, is here answered in full. Other tables show the distances from New York, &c., to domestic and foreign ports, by sea; and also, by way of comparison, from New York and Liverpool to the princ.i.p.al ports beyond and around Cape Horn, &c., as well as _via_ the Isthmus of Panama. Accompanied by a large and accurate Map of the United States, including a separate Map of California, Oregon, New Mexico and Utah. Also, a Map of the Island of Cuba, and Plan of the City and Harbor of Havana; and a Map of Niagara River and Falls.
