"Miss Toulmin Smith could have scarcely rendered more acceptable service to English antiquaries than she has done in preparing a complete edition of John Leland's 'Itinerary.' . . . Miss Toulmin Smith has collated what remains of Leland's MSS. throughout, filling up, from Stow's transcript, blanks occasioned by decay. But whereas Stow omitted several passages and marginalia in the original, in those parts whereof the original has been lost he has been collated with W. Burton, a copyist of the seventeenth century. Finally, two maps have been prepared, showing the routes followed by Leland through the counties contained in the present volume. . . . We congratulate Miss Toulmin Smith upon the manner in which she has edited this valuable work, which is admirably printed, with a satisfactory index." —Times.

"The book, which is adequately indexed, and illustrated with two good maps showing Leland's various routes, deserves a place in every well-furnished library."—Athenæum.

"The text of these excellently-printed volumes seems to be above reproach, and all students of English history will be grateful to Miss Toulmin Smith for the immense care she has devoted to the preparation of it. The accompanying maps showing Leland's itinerary will also be of great service."—English Historical Review.
