Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Walks About Florence This little books is the result of a spring and autumn spent on the Florentine hills, when the writer was suffering from a strange dis-ease of body and of soul, the result as it was thought of too eager a pursuit of his art, but in truth the payment that was demanded for a failure to achieve at the time what he most desired. Fallen into the hands of doctors (strange, unaccountable folk), forbidden to work, but encouraged to "distract himself," he began by devoting himself to a new exploration of Florence, and ended by disregarding her altogether for the country that lies about her. For indeed it is true - why should we deny it any longer? - Florence is no more: there remains beside the Arno, between the hills where once Florence stood, the most beautiful museum in the world, the one city in Italy that seems to have lost all character, to be at various seasons almost English or German or American, and, save in the dog-days perhaps, never really Tuscan at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks in Florence, Vol. 1 of 2 Whilst every visitor to Florence speaks in raptures of her beauty, few remain long enough to become really acquainted with her Art-treasures, her historical reminiscences, or the character of her people. It is in the churches, palaces, and streets of Florence, within the compass of daily walks, that we must search for the true history of her citizens. Simple, courteous, yet reserved, humorous and fond of ease, yet proud of traditional industry and freedom, but still more proud of the traditional greatness of his city, the Florentine retains many of the virtues, with some of the defects of his Republican forefathers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Walks in Florence, and Its Environs, Vol. 1 The present edition of this work is an entire recast, rendered necessary by the numerous changes which have taken place in Florence during the last few years. We have added a few chapters on the neighbourhood, which though less known to strangers than the city, is not only attractive from the beauty of the scenery, but interesting from the history of many of the Palaces, Villas, and Churches, scattered over hill and plain. The illustrations of the Arms of the Municipality, and Guilds, with a selection from those of the distinguished families of Florence, annexed to the end of Vol. II., will, we hope, prove useful, because associated with the chronicles of the old.

Here commerce recals to the happy, listless tra veller, idling on the river banks, that, separate himself as he may from the world, there are links which cannot be broken, and that even the silent, unconscious river binds man to man, and nation to nation; but here it is commerce in her most graceful form, such as artists love to paint, and poets to.

Suicide, invite his interest. Failing result of such grew some dredging, he contents himself with basking in the sun with his back to the parapet, and inspecting the feathers on the hats of the ladies, the jewels sparkling in their ears, the rich furs, as the file of brilliant equipages passes in the drive of the afternoon to the Cascine. Who so proudly elated as the son of the widower, on such occasions? A fig for stay-at - home, coddling mothers and sisters, if one can walk abroad with the father, making shrill, infantile comments on men and things, so patiently and indulgently responded to by the daddy (babbo) in the streets.

The listener still kept close. Are they of us, thought he. No, was the response, not unmixed with regret, as he saw no outward sign of supplicating for a purified heart, before they should bend the knee in token of respect to the sacred and heart-touching representation of that death, which even, according to their own creed, ushered in eternal life to a lost world. Why should I care? Thought he. Surely there may be mercy for all - but that slight figure betokens slight health. He continued to follow; and when their con ductor put them into a pew immediately behind his own, 'he felt that his piety could not repress an ardent wish to see the face of the younger querist. But he had been trained never to turn round in a place of worship, and that in which he was seated, and from which he had rarely wandered, was so constructed that every face in it was opposite to the altar.
