Preface

TO THE FIFTH EDITION. npHE Managers commissioned the composition of the First Edition of this work with the desire of placing before the public particulars of the route of the Orient Line, and of pointing out, as in a Guide Book, such information as to season, voyage, and destination as may prove most useful to the intending passenger. The appreciation of the Orient Guide by the reading public has necessitated, from time to time, the issue of fresh editions, reaching down to this, the Fifth Edition. Considerable alterations have been made in preparing this edition for the Press. The opening chapter is chiefly from the pen of Sir Wemyss Reid, who has had considerable experience as a sea voyager. The chapter on Germany, by Mrs. Fawcett, has been omitted, and most of that on Italy. Of the chapter on Greece, by Mr. W. B. Richmond, A.R.A., only that part has been retained which describes Athens.

The description of a visit to the Holy Land has been re-written, and brought up to date, from information kindly supplied by the Managers of the Palestine Exploration Fund. Some notes on Ceylon have been written for the Guide by a native Singalese lady. Commander Hull, R.N., has revised and con densed his chapters on the Stars, on Seamanship, and on Navigation, and has expanded his account of the Mariner's Compass. The Rev. C. H. Middleton-Wake has revised his notes on Nature at Sea. The chapter on Universal Time by Mr. J. Norman Lockyer, C.B., F.R.S., has been shortened ; Mr. H. E. Watts has revised his notes on the Australian Colonies, to which an account of Australian Zoology has been appended ; while a new chapter dealing with a recent visit to the Australian Colonies, by Mr. Matthew Macfie, who formerly resided there, has been added.

There is a change in the method of illustration, and an attractive feature has been added in the full-page reproductions of water-colour drawings of ships by W. L. Wyllie, A.R.A. W. J. LOFTIE. September, 1894. CONTENTS. PAGE
