About the Guidebook
The Itinerary through Corsica originally appeared as one section of Black’s guide to the Riviera. In later editions it became a separate volume. In the text as scanned, the Table of Contents and List of Maps appear twice: first as pages v-vii (with Maps on unpaginated viii) headed “Contents”, then as pages xv-xvii (Maps on xviii) headed “Corsica”. Pages ix-xiv are absent. The simplest explanation is that the introductory pages from two different versions of the book found their way into the same archive.
Black’s Guide to South France, East Half says: “The asterisk signifies that they [hotels or inns] are especially good of their class.” As this explanation comes more than 200 pages into the book, it can be assumed that the usage was already familiar to the reader.
