Vienna has often been described, but never perhaps more faithfully than in Russell's Germany, which, as a book of reference, or as a descriptive history, is as instructive as it is amusing. Having introduced my friends to so good an authority, I leave them to profit by the acquaintance; only remarking, that we regretted that a short stay of ten days did not allow us to avail ourselves of the many enjoyments which the magnificent public establishments of Vienna offer to the traveller.
