Introduction
The present work, " Rome Through the Stereoscope/ ' I have read in the course of its preparation, and I am satisfied that it possesses certain unique features which make it the most valuable means of obtaining a knowledge of that City, particularly when it is impossible for the student to supplement information obtained from books by an actual visit to the places themselves. It certainly gives experiences which are very close to those obtained from actual presence in the places referred to. These satisfactory results are obtained by the combination here employed for the first time of the stereoscopic photograph with its natural and life-like effects, and the ingenious map system, which is a recent invention and very practical, and the conversational tone of the text — a feature not found in guide books — all of which render the experiences obtained definite and real.
