English aristocrat Augustus J.C. Hare filled his days with trips to the Continent, and returned home to share his journeys with eager readers—and the journals of his travels still enjoy a cultishly devoted readership today. His *Walks in Rome* was first published in 1871; this replica of the 15th edition from 1900, published here as a two-volume set, offers a virtual walking tour of:
• the Corso and its neighborhood, including the Piazza del Popolo, the Temple of Neptune, and the Trevi Fountain
• the Forums and the Coliseum, including the Temple of Mars, the House of the Vestals, and the Arch of Constantine
• the Baths of Diocletian and its neighborhood, including the Pretorian camp, Convent of the Pregatrici, and Villa Negroni
• St. Peter’s and the Vatican, including the Sistine Chapel, the Picture Gallery, the Library, and the Etruscan and Egyptian museums
• and much more…
Charmingly enthusiastic and obsessively detailed, this guidebook continues to be invaluable for today’s travelers, and for those fascinated by the ongoing metamorphosis of a modern metropolis
British travel writer AUGUSTUS JOHN CULBERT HARE (1834–1903) also wrote *Epitaphs for Country Churchyards* (1856), *Walks in Rome* (1871), and *Wanderings in Spain* (1873).
