Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Journeys, Vol. 1 We did not know, when we started from home in Venice, on the 8th of November 1864, that we had taken the longest road to Rome. We thought that of all the proverbial paths to the Eternal City that leading to Padua, and thence through Ferrara and Bologna to Florence, and so down the sea-shore from Leghorn to Civita Vecchia, was the best, the briefest, and the cheapest. Who could have dreamed that this path, so wisely and carefully chosen, would lead us to Genoa, conduct us on shipboard, toss us four dizzy days and nights, and set us down, void, battered, and bewildered, in Naples?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Journeys In the American woods, very likely, whispering some dreamy, credulous youth, telling him charming fables of its locus, and proposing to itself to abandon him as soon as he sets foot upon its native ground. You see, though I cared little about Tasso, and nothing about his prison, I was heavily disappointed in not being able to believe in it, and felt somehow that I had been awakened from a cherished dream. But I have no right to cast the unbroken shadow of my skepticism upon the reader, and so I tell him a story about Ferrara which I actually believe. He must know that in Ferrara the streets are marvel ous long and straight. On the corners formed by the crossing of two Of the longest and straightest of these streets stand four palaces, in only one of which we have a present interest. This palace my guide took me to see, after our visit to Tasso's prison, and, standing in its shadow, he related to me thi occurrence which has given it a sad celebrity. It was, in the time of the gifted toxicologist, the resi dence of Lucrezia Borgia, who used to make poison ous little suppers there, and ask the best families of Italy to partake of them. It happened on one occasion that Lucrezia Borgia was thrust out Of a ball-room at Venice as a disreputable character, and treated with peculiar indignity. She determined to make the Venetians repent their uiiwonted accession of virtue, and she therefore allowed the occurrence ti' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy Through the Stereoscope: Journeys in and About Italian Cities First, the one hundred stereoscopic photographs, by means of which we are enabled to stand in one hundred of the more important places in Italy. These standpoints are so chosen that, taking them together, it is made possible for us to gain a clear knowledge of each city visited as a whole and a near acquaintance with the buildings and objects of special interest. Second, the patent maps, general and sectional, which are found in a booklet inserted in a pocket in the back cover. By means of these maps, both the point of view and the extent of vision in each stereograph is definitely shown, so that the relation of each stereographed scene to every other one and to the whole city can be seen almost at a glance. I cannot emphasize too strongly the im portance of getting a distinct experience of location in each of the different places in Italy by the help of these maps. In my judgment this map system is the most im portant invention that has ever been made to aid in the use of photographic illustration.

Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Something of Italy The present volume is only what it purports to be, Something, not much, about italy - just those glances at the country, its people, and usages which were casually obtained during a three months' excursion in the spring and summer of 1862, along with such observations as are suggested by the hopeful progress of those portions of the Italian peninsula lately nationalised, as well as by the dismal backwardness of those other parts - Rome and Venetia - still under an antiquated and relentless thraldom. The illustrations are chie y from photographs, in the prepara tion of which the Italians sustain their reputation for artistic excellence. It has to be added, that the substance of the volume appeared as detached papers in the Journal with which the.

The Apennines have rounded, wavy tops on which are dense woods with a clearing here and there where there is a Roman villa or an old castle. Perched on the sides of the mountains are huts that look as if they were camping out. Where the slopes of the hillsides are gradual, they are covered with forests and vegeta tion.

There is some difficulty there in getting SO much as an Italian newspaper, and, though excellent photographs have been taken of some of the chief build ings, they must be sought for at Flor ence; they are not to be bought at Arezzo. Yet the old Etruscan city has many attractions, among them surely the singular cleanness of its streets, and, above all, that clear and pure air which is thought to have had some thing to do with nourishing the genius of.

A boiled egg was invariably his simple break fast, except on Sundays when he would say that, it being a day of rest, less food was required. A life-long teetotaller (except on the Continent), he became more confirmed in this habit when he had to deal with the drunk and disorderly cases that were brought before the bench of magistrates.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from When Mother Lets Us Travel in Italy Perhaps the wanderings of an American family in Italy will interest not only those who can follow in their footsteps, but also those who must stay at home. The journeying of an entire family is rarely a mere holiday, and in the case of Mr. And Mrs. Car ter, and their children, business of an important nature dictates their route. Mr. Carter has been sent abroad by his native state, to study the design ing and building of foreign cities. Sometimes, he is able to make his work interest ing to his children; often he can allow himself a holiday, and join them in excursions to places that hold little promise of help to those who are dream ing of a City Beautiful in Texas. It is to be hoped that the Italian experiences of Alice, Jack and the twins, will lead their friends to follow their fortunes into France and Holland, and the other fascinating countries of Europe.

It had been talked about all the spring and summer; and Mr. Thornton was so certain that the change of climate would cure Helen's cough, which had troubled her ever since she had the scarlet fever, the winter before; and he was such a dear Uncle and friend to them, that at last after many consultations, and some tears, the matter was settled, and papa, and mamma, and the little sisters and brothers, must make up their minds to let Helen and Hattie go.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Italian Travel (1580-1900) It would not be possible to find a generalisation wide enough to express the difference of the Italian and the Teutonic conceptions of life. It was necessary to indicate that a fundamental difference does exist. The better we understand this fact, the easier it will be to trace the gradual appreciation of Italian art from the years following on the close of the Renaissance - which was also the period of the northern Reformation - to the end of the nineteenth century.
