This work attracted much popular favor and by 1835 had reached a fifth edition. Matthews provides the reader with "light and pleasant sketches of manners, and other popular information on Portugal, Italy and Switzerland and France....and he is at once vigorous and lively...." Most of the first volume and 80pp. of vol. II concern Italy.
