APPENDIX.

HOW TO SEE ROME.

THE objects in Rome which the stranger is bound to visit, if only for a moment, and to assure himself that they are not worth seeing, are so numerous, and scattered over so wide a space (the circuit of the walls being fifteen miles, and many excursions beyond them being necessary), that without a systematic arrangement, he will waste much time and labor in unprofitably retracing his steps, and, after all, find at last that he has left much unseen. To lessen this evil to those of his readers who may hereafter visit Rome, the writer has prepared on the spot, from his hardearned experience, the following arrangement of the Lions of Rome, in the precise order (much more convenient and symmetrical than that of Vasi) in which they should succeed each other, so as to secure the greatest economy of time and fatigue. They are arranged in Groups, each referred to some of the "Seven Hills," or other leading objects. The Antiquities are printed in Black Letter; the Churches in Italics; the COLLECTIONS of PICTURES and STATUARY in SMALL CAPITALS; and the miscellaneous objects in ordinary Roman letters. Their description should be studied in Murray's invaluable "Hand-book for Central Italy," and each day's intended route examined on the mapa the previous evening.
