Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Queen of the Adriatic: Or Venice Past and Present In the following pages, our restricted limits will con fine us to the merest summary - a skeleton, which it would need an abler hand to clothe with flesh and blood. Yet, so deep is the charm which like a magical light sur rounds the history of the Queen of the Adriatic-x - so full are her annals of touches of heroism, devotion, and gran deur, and even of the highest pathos and the most solemn gloom - that we are not without hopes the reader may be induced to follow with some degree of interest the rapid sketch we have attempted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice an Historical Sketch of the Republic Throughout her career the personality of the Republic overshadows the personality of even her most distinguished citizens. No State, except Athens, has ever presented, at the very core of her life, the idea of herself with such sumptuous personification in art. Athene in the Parthenon, Venice in the Ducal Palace, offer the two most illustrious examples of a nation's self-portraiture through painting and through sculpture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice Its History, Art, Industries and Modern Life At Venice, he who is happy, he for whom silence has no charms and who loves the tumult of the world, soon finds his footsteps dogged by limping dulness. But those who have known the sorrows of life return gladly thither; the place is catch ing - every corner or open square recommends itself to the affections. The lightness of the heavens, the even purity of the air, the steely shine of the lagoon, the roseate reflections of the walls, the nights as clear as day, the softness of the Venetian dialect, the trustfulness and placability of the people, their tolerance for all men's humors, and their gentle intercourse, - out of all these results that unseizable and seductive quality which is indeed Venice, which sings at a man's heart, and so possesses and subdues him that he shall feel far from home whenever he is far from the Piazzetta.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice and Its Art The present work is in a sense the continuation of an undertaking which began with the publication of the Art Of Florence in 1912. It was intended from the be ginning to cover briefly the art Of the Italian Renaissance in two volumes, a plan now tardily realized after many and prolonged interruptions. The present volume differs from its predecessor in that more attention is given to the city itself, to its history as a key to the understand ing Of its art and to its own growth and physical trans formation as a work Of art in itself. This is in line with the growing feeling Of the writer that art is an expression of the spiritual and cultural life of a people and that their history is the key to its interpretation. The purpose of the book will be Clear to those who are familiar with the earlier volume or with the author's work in the galleries Of Europe. The book is not a record Of personal research. N O archives have been ransacked, no records discovered, no manuscripts edited or read. Information regarding the works here dis cussed is to be found in any good library. Nor has any attempt been made to make the list Of works inclusive or to give all known facts regarding them.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice, Vol. 1 of 2 For several years past I have devoted my self to collecting and arranging material for a book to embody the idea I had thus enter tained. I earnestly hope it may meet a want on the part of tourists, especially Americans, who, so far as my experience goes, usually come to Europe with an honest and reverent desire to learn from the Old World whatever of value it has to teach them, and who are prepared to take an amount of pains in turn ing their trip to good account which is both rare and praiseworthy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries: A Sketch of Venetian History From the Conquest of Constantinople to the Accession of Michele Steno, A. D. 1204-1400 I ought to add that what I said in the Introduction to my former book did less than justice to the great work of Romanin, which I have learnt to trust more and more. He is not a master of style, but his Storz'a Documcnz'ala is an early model, and a very good one, of the kind of history founded on original documents that is becoming every year more and more the most useful and highly appreci ated product of historical work.

The original capitals, as they obviously represent a rough system of emphasis, may serve to a clearer understanding of the play. The author himself may have arranged them as they stand' in the quarto of 1682. At all events they were considered sufficiently important to be reproduced with creditable care, almost accuracy, by the printers of the second quarto of 1696.
