Mariana Starke (c.1762 1838) published this work in 1802, launching
her career as a travel writer. Volume 2 contains nine beautifully
written letters which evaluate the cultural attractions of the
cities of Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Florence, Bologna, and Venice and
the cities' surrounding countryside. The guide gives detailed
information on the climate, dialects, population, geography and
medical facilities of each city. A supplement offers advice on
visiting the major cities of France and using the main transport
links between them. The work quickly became popular as it took into
account the increasing trend for less affluent families to travel
abroad. Starke offers a wealth of advice on affordable food,
accommodation, transport and entertainment; her famous rating
system, employing exclamation marks to signify the quality of a
cultural site, was the precursor of the modern-day system of
star-rating. It is a classic of nineteenth-century travel writing.
