MoreZigzag Journeys in Europe, and its large sale and continued success have led the publishers and the writer to plan a series of entertaining and instructive books which shall illustrate the scenery, manners and customs, history and legendary lore of different parts of the world. It was decided that the second volume should be such as would tend to awaken an interest in classical studies, and afford a glimpse of the past glory and a view of the present condition of Greece and Rome. The tourists were to pass through the old Roman empire and to go over the waters crossed by Ulysses, -E neas, the Apostle Paul, and by the early arts in their progress towards the West. The former volume met with so much acceptance as a holiday gift-book that a special Christmas chapter has been prepared for this, describing one of the entertainments and relating some of the best stories of the Zigzag Club.
