Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Florence: And of the Affairs of Italy; From the Earliest Times to the Death of Lorenzo the Magnificent Together With the Prince and Various Historical Tracts Niccolo Machiavelli, the first great Italian historian, and one of the most eminent political writers of any age or country, was born at Florence, May 3, 1469. He was of an old though not wealthy Tuscan family, his father, who was a jurist, dying when Niccolo was sixteen years old. We know nothing of Machiavelli is youth and little about his studies. He does not seem to have received the usual humanistic education of his time, as he knew no Greek. The first notice of Machiavelli is in 1498 when we find him holding the office of Secretary in the second Chancery of the Signoria, which office he retained till the downfall of the Florentine Republic in 1512. His unusual ability was soon recognized, and in 1500 he was sent on a mission to Louis XII. of France, and afterward on an embassy to Caesar Borgia, the lord of Romagna, at Urbino. Machiavelli's report and description of this and subsequent embassies to this prince, shows his undisguised admiration for the courage and cunning of Caesar, who was a master in the application of the principles afterward exposed in such a skillful and uncompromising manner by Machiavelli in his "Prince."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Florence Iccolo machiavelli received in the year 1520, from Giulio de' Medici, the commission to write his [storie Fiorentine. His Dedication of the completed work to Pope Clement VII. Was written in I 527, the year of Machiavelli's death. This book has a place of honour in the history Of Modern Literature, as the first work in which the Annal-writing of {he Chronicler gave place to the more artistic shaping of a. History that found in political societies of man the operation of first principles of life under varying social conditions. With simple grouping of details into coherent chapters, Machiavelli first shows how the shaping of Italian states, the making of modern Italy, produced conditions that affected from within and from without the public life of Florence. Then he begins in his second book the History of Florence herself, which he brings down to his own time, and closes with the death of Lorenzo de' Medici; natural end of an epoch in the History of Florence. Machiavelli's own age at that time was twenty-three. The English version here given of Machiavelli's History is reprinted from the first complete translation of The Works of the Famous Nicolas Machiavel, Citizen and Secretary of Florence. Written originally in Italian, and from thence newly and faith fully translated into English. London, folio, 1675. Twenty years later there was a second edition of this folio, and there was a third edition in 1720. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florence Its History, the Medici, the Humanists, Letters, Arts Italy in the thirteenth century carried on and brought to its crowning point the work of civilization which France in the twelfth century had started by means of the crusades, the establishment of communal franchises, and the foundation of the University Of Paris. The symbol created by the genius Of Lucre tius, where the successive labor Of generations is rep resented by running-men passing their torches from hand to hand, had never been realized with so much grandeur; the sacred torches had fallen from French hands, and had been picked up by Italy, in whose grasp they emitted a light which dazzled the whole world. Rome, notwithstanding the Barbarian invasion, the schism, and the exile Of the Papacy, still retained the recollection Of her glorious past, brought even more vividly before her by the superb monuments which had withstood the ravages Of time and Of man. But even Rome, like the rest of Italy, acknowledged the superiority of Florence comparable to Athens itself, and all the cities Of Italy did homage to her genius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Florence It is needless to say that the number of books, oldand new, is very considerable indeed, to which anyone venturing in these days to write yet another book on Florence must have had recourse, and to whose authors he is bound to be indebted - from the earliest Florentine chroniclers down to the most recent bio graphers of Lorenzo the Magnificent, of Savonarola, of Michelangelo - from Vasari down to our modern scientific art critics - from Richa and Moreni down to the Misses Homer. My obligations can hardly be acknowledged here in detail; but, to mention a few modern works alone, I am most largely indebted to Capponi's Storia della Repnboliea di Firenze, to various writings of Professor Pasquale Villari, and to Mr Arm strong's Lorenzo de' Medici to the works of Ruskin and J. A. Symonds, of M. Reymond and Mr Berenson; and, \in the domains of topography, to Baedeker's Hand Boo'. In judging of the merits and the authorship of individual pictures and statues, I have usually given more weight to the results of modern criticism than to the pleasantness of old tradition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Villas of Florence and Tuscany Without a knowledge of the unsung loveliness of Tuscan rural life and the Spirit of Tuscany, one cannot hope to have an adequate and sympathetic understanding of the Italian Renaissance, that marvellous efflorescence of Italian genius to which our modern civilisation is debtor in countless ways. Only the larger and more celebrated villas are familiar to most of us. Hence we are apt to think of all villas as imposing in size of structure and area of demesne. Actual facts, however do not bear out such a conception. Hundreds of villas are of modest extent and unpretentious structure. Not a few are really small.

Supported by corbels from this wall at the second, third and fourth floor levels, are balconies which form the exterior circulation for the rooms on these floors.

The reading of your book has been for me one of the charms of Paris. But it is not necessary to have been raised in Tuscany to enjoy your work. I finished the read ing at Turin. The interest increases as one proceeds. These impressions of a journey, appar ently detached thoughts upon a wide range of subjects, form a grand and unique picture. In it you have mingled historical associations, im pressions of art, descriptions of the country, with Social and philosophical theories. As a historian, I should be tempted to seek a quarrel with you on several points, and I must make some reserves upon certain rather too bold theories. But as an Italian, and as a man of letters, I cannot but congratulate myself and you upon the consummate ability with which you have given form and life to the diverse elements of which your material is composed, art and history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medici and the Italian Renaissance While I have endeavoured, during the years devoted to the study of the subject, to read everything of any value that has been written on the subject, my obligations are especially great to the monumental works of Symonds and Roscoe. The former, taken all in all, is still the most comprehensive, most pro found, and most picturesque study which has yet appeared of that marvellous mingling of sunshine and shadow characterising the Renaissance epoch. I had intended at the end of the volume to have given a list of the works that had been helpful to me in my study of the subject, for the convenience of those desiring to pursue the theme further than has been possible here. But as the footnote references are very full throughout the volume, to mention them a second time seemed almost a work of supererogation.
