Profusely illustrated throughout, with a list of illustrations and an index of topics.From the dust jacket: The Centennial Travel Series The bracing climate, the heather, glens, moors, lochs and spectacular scenery attracted visitors to Scotland in the late nineteenth century just as today. In the pages of this lavishly illustrated travelogue, the reader will discover for him-self the pleasures of journeys made in the 1880s 'north of the Border'. The author, the Rev. Samuel Green, made many visits to Scotland, and in this volume set down descriptions and opinions of what he saw and enjoyed, providing the Victorian tourist with a perceptive guide to the country and not neglecting to offer sound advice to the intending sightseer. In words and pictures, he evokes the changing moods and scenery of old Scotland: Across the Border: to Edinburgh and Glasgow Glimpses of Edinburgh and Glasgow By the Clyde to the Western Coast Through the Western Highlands The Central Highlands: Stirling to Inverness The Eastern Coast and Deeside To the Far North As he turns the pages of The Centennial Travel Series, the reader embarks upon a journey in both time and place to tour, with expert guides, the great countries of the world as they were a hundred years ago. This was the great age of railway travel, before the coming of the motor car and the aeroplane. And the itinerary in each book follows the leisurely style of the Victorian age: by steamer, train, carriage and foot. The descriptions of scenes and places were written by a small group of enthusiastic travellers, including several clergymen, observant reporters of all they saw. Each book is thus based upon the author's personal experiences, the words complemented by superb nineteenth century engravings on almost every page.

When the affable owner of a checkered-tablecloth restaurant in Little Italy is cut down by the bullets of a pair of ski-masked thugs, 5th Precinct Police Detective Reardon has his hands too full to give a damn about some odd things going on uptown. For instance, why does a noted Madison Avenue art lover suddenly decide to sell his entire collection in an effort to raise a cool million? And why was a well-known Arab oil magnate assassinated? Almost too late, Reardon sees the connection between the deaths of a multi-millionaire and a small-time restaurateur, and the fluctuations in the international markets for crude oil, fine art, and precious metals. And now that he knows the truth, just how long has he got to live? Condition: Near fine in fine jacket., Mysterious Press, 1986, 4.5, Royal Collection Enterprises Ltd., London. Paperback. GOOD.
