Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rider´s Washington: A Guide Book for Travelers, With 3 Maps and 22 Plans Following New York, Washington of all our cities is most obviously deserving of adequate guidebook treatment. Soon after the issuance of "Rider´s New York City," the first in this series of "American Baedekers," therefore, editorial work was begun on the Washington volume. The war temporarily necessitated some postponement of plan, but actual field work was completed early this year. The problems met with in the preparation of the "New York" volume had to be solved again with the "Washington" guide in peculiarly accentuated form. New York is in a constant state of flux; but the last three years in Washington have witnessed an unprecedented growth, with attendant dislocation and relocation - all particularly disconcerting to the maker of guidebooks. The bibliography of Washington is of course extensive, but authorities of equal standing disagree astonishingly when one attempts to run down specific antiquarian details. Following the precedent of the New York volume, moreover, every endeavor was made to secure information or verification of every item at first hand, and this has meant an amount of first hand research not easy to appreciate. As in the case of "Rider´s Bermuda", the actual labor of compilation in the present volume has been largely in the hands of Dr. Frederic Taber Cooper, to whose painstaking enthusiasm and critical sense whatever excellence it may possess is largely due.
