Harper's Hand-Book for Travellers

Harper's Hand-Book for Travellers in Europe and the East, 1862

Harper's Hand-Book for Travellers (est.1862) was a series of travel guide books published by Harper & Brothers of New York. Each annual edition contained information for tourists in Europe and parts of the Middle East. The "indefatigable" William Pembroke Fetridge[1] wrote most of the guides from 1862 until at least 1885.[2] In its day the Harper's Hand-Book competed with popular guides such as Baedeker, Bradshaw's, and Murray's.[3] In 1867 critic William Dean Howells found Harper's Hand-Book "chatty and sociable."[3] Readers included Lucy Baird, daughter of Spencer F. Baird.[4]

The M2 had fixed, spot welded D bales so named for their shape, similar to early M1s. It was found that when sat on or dropped, these bails would snap off. The solution was...
