A List of the Volumes in
The MediævalTown 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 compactrésuméof what the research of local historians had discovered and arranged.

"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

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 theMediæval Town Seriesfills 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.
