“The touring motorist ... will find Mr. Home exactly the sort of
companion who will add sensibly to the pleasures of the day’s run.
All along the main roads he gossips brightly of history,
architecture, and archæology, and manages to convey a large amount
of information without being unpleasantly didactic.”--_Pall Mall
Gazette._

‘O’er the Flaminian way he bade the axle glow--
For there, our young Antomedon first tried
His powers, there loved the rapid car to guide.’
JUVENAL.
