Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook to the Mediterranean: Its Cities, Coasts and Islands, for the Use "The grand object of all travelling," said Dr. Johnson to Paoli, "is to see the shores of the Mediterranean." English travellers, having explored the Continent by land in all directions, are coming to Johnson's opinion, and, weary of the rail and river-steamer, are flocking in yachts and sea-steamers to that great inland basin on whose shores rose all the mighty Empires of the world, whose ports and harbours became the most populous, prosperous, and magnificent cities. A desire now be coming general to visit those sunny shores and islands where winter is shorn of half its intemperance; and the facilities of moving from place to place afforded by French, Italian, Spanish, and Austrian steam companies, have produced a want for a Handbook which these pages have been prepared to supply. The object of the Editor has been to condense within the limits of a portable volume a reasonable amount of general information regarding all the countries in the basin of the Mediterranean, including such inland excursions as one would naturally make from its ports. Thus we assume that a traveller to Algiers would hardly care to leave the country without making a trip through the Chabet el-Akhira to Constantine; a cruise on the coast of Syria would he incomplete without a visit to the Holy City; no man would go to Malaga, and abstain from running up to Granada. Yet there must be a limit to everything: we have not mentioned even the name Some, and we have described only in brief outline four other great cities, each of which has been fully described in existing Handbooks - Athens, Constantinople, Venice, and Naples. We have preferred to devote a larger portion of our space to localities insufficiently described before, such as the Coast of Africa, Greece, Dalmatia, Cyprus, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, the Balearic Islands, &c.

Excerpt: ...eastern half of the island, and valonia acorns, so valuable for their quality of fixing dyes, are only grown in the neighbourhood of Rethymo. The olive tree is seen everywhere, but attains its largest size in the western district of Selino. Being never pruned, but allowed to grow in its native luxuriance, groves of these trees form a beautiful feature in the landscape. The oil is largely used by the natives as an article of diet, though most unpalatable to Europeans. There are several varieties of wine manufactured, all very strong; the best is that grown at Haghios Myron, in the district of Malevesi near Candia. It was formerly celebrated under the name of Malvoisie or Malmsey, a name immortalised in English history in connection with the death of Clarence. The plant producing this wine was introduced into Madeira by Henry II. of Portugal, and is the parent of the modern Madeira to which, when well matured, Malmsey bears a certain resemblance. Although vineyards cover a large extent of land, and the production of wine is so great that it is sold in the wineshops at twopence a bottle, while its wholesale price is scarcely more than half that price, very little is exported. Sport.--Crete is generally thought to be well stocked with game, but the traveller will be wofully disappointed if he comes with that impression. Partridges (the Greek red-legged) and hares may indeed be found in every part of the island, but seldom in large numbers, while in the neighbourhood of the towns, and notably of Suda Bay, the country is so denuded of game as to afford small chances of a day's sport. This arises from the number of natives who seek to earn a few piastres by supplying the market of Canea with game, for which there is always a demand among the...
