The larger part of this volume, however, is now published for the first time. I am well aware that a traveller is likely often to draw false inferences from what he sees and hears, especially in a country whose people are of a different race and whose institutions are of a different character from those of his own. This has led me to be sparing in my deductions from my personal observation and experience. But there are certain principles in religion and in government of universal application; and how far these principles are adopted or rejected in any special state is a subject upon which an intelligent man is bound to form and at liberty to express a distinct opinion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of Travel: Italy The city of Maecenas, and of a whole crowd of famous men of later times, shows no outward signs of being much frequented by travellers. 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 buildings, they must be sought for at Florence; they are not to be bought at Arezzo.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes of a Two Year's Residence in Italy From him who ventures forth as the author of another work upon Italy, some apology will be required; it seems like presumption to tread in the steps of Eustace and Forsyth, and Lady Morgan (not to mention so many others), over the oft-travelled highways of this classic land - and yet, perhaps, there is more to excuse such, than almost any other literary enterprise. While the world endures, Italy will ever present to mankind the same charms and the same interest; but different minds will behold this lovely country with different views, and under different circumstances, though all with feelings such as no other European land awakens. The scholar and the artist will regard her for her past glory and the monuments of her ancient greatness; the lover of nature, for her teeming fertility and lovely climate; the poet, for all combined in that "immaculate charm which cannot he effaced," and which, even in her ruin, has shed upon Italy an undying beauty. It is not, then, surprising that, out of the crowds of pilgrims to this "bright, sunny land," so many, in the pleasure of marking an epoch of their lives, and recording the birth of new ideas, or at least of new tastes, should forget their usual prudence, and rush into print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Human eyes cannot, without turning aside, contemplate the sight of suffering for too long a time. Goddesses themselves grow weary of it, and the three thousand Oceanides who went to console Prometheus on his Caucasian cross returned therefrom in the evening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tourist in Italy To the eye of the stranger the aspect of Venice first pre sents itself like some vision of the deep, while her history fills the mind with awe and wonder at the stem and fearful realities and heroic recollections with which it abounds. She stands alone and unparalleled in the annals of Italy's tempestuous rep'ublics, - those hypocrites of liberty, which recoiled from foreign despotism only the more effectually to exalt themselves, by harassing and oppressing each other. While torn by internal factions and successive revolutions, the rest of Italy wielded at will their fierce democracies Venice preserved unshaken her high and palmy state, based on the deep, invisible foundations of her more than Machiavellian system, - the combination of petty tyrants, which, unlike that of slaves, seldom fails to accomplish the Objects it has in view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edens of Italy N our day it has come to pass, that the tour of Europe is quite I commonly regarded as the essential complement of a good education. Perhaps no popular notion is better founded in fact; since, of all means merely human, foreign travel is the most effectual for expanding the mind and improving the heart. But to the classical scholar and the student of history what other transatlantic country is so full of interest and instruction as Italy Among the many, however, who visit that land of art and beauty, how few can say they have really seen it! Hare says, not more than one in five hundred. A month they spend in Rome, a fortnight in Naples, a week in Florence, three days in Venice, and two perchance in Milan. To a score of other cities, as rich in classic interest and heroic fame as in the productions of the pencil and the chisel, if they visit them at all, they can give but a few hurried hours, and these for the most part very poorly employed. Travelling per le paste with fresh relays of horses every two leagues, or dozing on velvet cushions while charioted along thirty miles an hour by stradaferrata, as if their aim were to get over as much ground and acquire as little knowl edge as possible, they make the tour of Italy with hardly a single valuable acquisition to their small stock of intelligence, and actually profit less from their trip than he who carries'an artist outside of his coach to sketch whatever of interest he may pass while sleeping within.

Download or read book Italian Travel Sketches Classic Reprint written by James Sully and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Travel Sketches It is a pleasure to acknowledge the ready and generous help which I have received during my years of wandering in Italy. This aid includes, not merely valuable directions for travel and letters of introduction from friends, both Italian and half Italianate English, but useful information and personal guidance cordially tendered, alike on the Continent and in Sicily, by local officials, such as directors of Museums and Antiquities, ecclesiastics, and military officers in charge of buildings where interesting remains of old architecture or fresco painting are preserved. Among these helpers on the road I wish to acknowledge special obligations to Cav. Cesare Pinzi, of Viterbo; Comm. Ettore Pais, formerly Director of the Museo Nazionale, Naples, and now Professor in the R. Universita, Rome; Dr. Giuseppe Pitre, the expert on Sicilian folk-lore, of Palmero; Cav. Capponi, Director of the Museo, Terracina; and Canon Filippo Muzzi, of the Duomo, Spoleto. It is to talks and walks with these and others, in whom special knowledge is fired with the enthusiasm of the con scious dweller among beautiful things, that I trace the livelier interest out of which has grown the idea of my book. While preparing these Sketches I have received valuable assistance from officials and from friends: among others, Dr. Thomas Ashby, of the British School, Rome; and my two assiduous friends, the Marchese selvatico-estense, of Padua.
