Pirate edition. This guide was originally published in 1824 and went to several editions and translations before being enlarged and republished as Travels in Europe (1832). 'The various editions enlarge the geographical scope of their predecessors, and brought up to date the very detailed practical advice on accommodation, expenses, food, and itineraries she gave to travellers' (DNB). It covers France, Italy and Germany. Detailed chapters on Paris, Florence, Naples and Pompei.
This appears to be a pirated Italian edition of Mariana Starke's 'indispensable' guide.
Sixth edition. 2 volumes, 8vo (18 x 10 cms), pp.345, 350-776, [1], bookplates, pencilling on endpapers, both vols uniformily bound in contemporary half green morocco, marbled boards, spine gilt lettered, rubbed; overall a good firm copy.
Robinson p. 194.
