Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Benvenuto Cellini, Vol. 1 of 2: A Florentine Artist The established character of the Memoirs of Benvenuto Cellini, as a piece of very curious autobiography, renders all apology unnecessary for its introduction into a collection, the very object of which is to form a gallery of self-por traiture of the most various and inclusive des cription. The life of a man of genius by himself can scarcely fail to be interesting under any cir cumstances; but in regard to Cellini, the peen liar sphere in which he moved, and the period in which he lived, unite with his own wild and wayward eccentricities, to give a charm to his personal adventures, which has been acknow ledged not only in his own country and language.
