Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Venice May we be permitted a word Of counsel to the returning traveller who has not restricted his move ments by taking the usual circular ticket. If he voyage by the little steamer that plies between the Riva degli Schiavoni and Fusina (whence a steam tram will carry him to the S. Sofia station at Padua, near the Arena Chapel), he will pass along the Old route from the mainland, and enjoy a last and certainly a fond and lingering view Of the wonderful city as the boat slowly steams away from Venice through the canals Of the Zattere and Of Fusina. The train to Padua passes along the road that follows the course Of the Canale di Brenta, affording glimpses Of many an Old patrician palace in picturesque decay. He will touch at Oriago where Jacopo del Cassero, who entreated Dante's prayers in the ante-purgatorio, was overtaken and murdered by the assassins of the tyrant Azzo VIII. Of Este, and saw among the reeds and the mire1 a pool growing on the ground from his veins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They have been praised for qualities they did not possess and blamed for crimes they did not commit. Roman cers and poets have unwittingly belied them; enemies have traduced; historians have turned partisans for or against them. It seems as if posterity were in league never to understand them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venetian Discourses, Drawn From the History, Art Customs of Venice Venice was the most stable, the most peace ful, the most prosperous, and the longest lived Republic the world has ever seen. Through many an age in the mid-sea she dwelt, From her retreat calmly contemplating The changes of the Earth, herself unchanged. A scene of light and glory, a dominion That has endured the longest among men. Such being the case, nothing, I think, could be more Opposed to reason and to probability than the notion, too commonly entertained, that she; owed her superlative greatness to a policy and to practices that savoured of piracy and pillage, of tyranny and injustice, of cruelty and oppression. And, from my own study of Venice and Venetian history, I am prepared to say that no notion could be more opposed to truth and to fact The more I know of the old Venetians, the more I feel called upon to admire not only their marvel lous energy and industry, their perseverance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Navy of Venice The history of Venice has been told in many ways and by many writers. Poets, novelists, and dramatists have in turn portrayed the romantic charm and tragic fate of the amphibious city. But by some inexplicable oversight her Navy - the expression par excellence of her peculiar character, the instrument by which she both built up her actual fabric and shaped her destiny - has been ignored, or has been treated only in conjunction with those of other Italian seaports. Its individuality and its import ance have thus been obscured. The object of the present work is to endeavour to make good, as far as may be, this deficiency; and to give its due prominence to a subject which should appeal, not only to specialists and experts in naval matters, but to all who feel the fascination of the sea, or who are attracted by the marvellous tale of the rise and fall of Venice. I do not, alas! Belong to the ranks of the experts and specialists: I have not even attempted to adopt their language when I describe the vessels most in use in the Venetian Navy and the exploits in which they gained renown. I have rather striven, as far as in me lies, to set before the general reader the important part that Navy played, for more than a thousand years, in developing the individuality of the Republic, and I have also striven to prove how fatally the wealth and luxury in Venice under mined the simplicity and vigour of her citizens, and how their indifference and apathy as to the maintenance of the Navy was the cause of the downfall of the city. That no work dealing exclusively with the subject has yet been written is a strange and curious fact - that it should be handled for the first time by a woman and a foreigner is stranger still.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice Night had fallen as they drew near to Belmont. The moon light lay spread among the statues and cypresses in Portia's garden, where on a grassy bank the two lovers, Lorenzo and Jessica, talked together in low antiphons such as lovers use, and in the pauses of their talk gazed and drank in the beauty of the heavens. Word had come that the mistress of the house would return home before daybreak and close upon this came a mes senger with the news that Bassanio, too, might be expected. Lorenzo called for music: no gentler or more gracious welcome could there be for the home-comers, should they be arriving; and if not, still he and Jessica could sit till the moonlight faded, and let the sweet sounds creep in their ears, while the stillness of the garden, the embracing silent night, made harmony with the hidden lutes, as the listening heart might hear its own beating harmonies whispered back from the stars paving the ﬂoor of heaven.
