Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches From the Subject and Neighbour Lands of Venice In 1877 I visited Dalmatia for the second time, and Greece for the first. I should be well pleased some day to put together some out of many. Papers on the more distant Greek lands. In this volume I have brought in those on Corfu only, as that island forms an essential part of my present subject. In the present year 1881 I again visited Dalmatia and some parts of Istria and Albania, as also a large part of Italy. This has enabled me to add some papers on the Venetian possessions both in northern and southern Italy, as also one on the Dalmatian island of Curzola, which on former visits I had seen only in passing.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Sketches from the Subject and Neighbour Lands of Venice: Look inside the book: As there are in these papers a good many historical references, some of them to rather out-of-the-way matters, but matters which could not always be explained at length in the text, I have drawn up a chronological table of the chief events in the history of the lands and cities of which I have had to speak. ...And in later times, when the Lombard and the Frankish Austria were both forgotten, when the name clave only to a third Austria, the more modern Austria of Germany—the Eastern mark called into being to guard Germany from the Magyar—the Venetian land has more than once become Austrian in another sense; some of it in that sense remains Austrian still. ...It has not only been, like its neighbours, Venetian and Austrian in two widely different senses—it has not only been Venetian in the old geographical sense, and Venetian in the sense of being subject to the commonwealth of Venice—it has not only been Austrian in the old Lombard sense, and Austrian in the sense of being subject to the Dukes of the German Austria—but it has also shifted backwards and forwards between the rule of the Serene Republic and the rule of the Austrian Dukes, in a way to which it would not be easy to find a parallel even among the old revolutions of its neighbours.

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice There is no city more written about, more painted, and more misrepresented, than Venice. Students, poets, and painters have combined in reproducing her many charms. Usually, however, Venice is described in a hurried, careless way: the subject is seldom gone deeply into, and studied as it should be, before attempting to compile a book. It is only one who has been there, and observed the life and characteristics of the people for years, who can gain any true perception of their character. Those who have not been to Venice must needs know by heart her attractions, which have been so persistently thrust before the public; but unless half a dozen really excellent books have been read concerning her, the' city of their imaginations must be a theatrical Venice, unreal and altogether false.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Wanderer in Venice "In like manner I say, that had there bin an offer made unto me before I took my journey to Venice, eyther that foure of the richest manors of Somerset-shire (wherein I was borne) should be gratis bestowed upon me if I never saw Venice, or neither of them if I should see it; although certainly these manors would do me much more good in respect of a state of livelyhood to live in the world than the sight of Venice, yet notwithstanding I will ever say while I live, that the sight of Venice and her resplendent beauty, antiquities, and monuments, hath by many degrees more contented my minde, and satisfied my desires, than those foure Lordships could possibly have done." - Thomas Coryat.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Enchanted Island: The Venice of Titian, and Other Studies in Art T is not difficult to surmise how England became The Enchanted Island. The hardy fishermen pushing out from the western Shores of the great con tinent of Europe would see our white cliffs, at dawn ushed with roseate light, at night-fall glorified by the setting sun. Such a'line on the horizon - beautiful to look upon, perhaps dangerous to approach, certainly unexplored - might well be the land of which even Heine dreamed. Myth first; then History; then Religion; always the struggle going on between good and evil. Now Science with its clear eyes; and the common-place work-a-day world with its dull eyes; and Nature with eyes as of a god - a sun-god - SO bright. And over all the spell of an Enchanter's wand. That is the subject of this little book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pharsalia of Lucan, Vol. 2 Now that the chiefs with minds intent on fight Had drawn together, and the gods beheld Their chosen pair, and battle was at hand, Caesar despised the petty Grecian towns And scorned a triumph save at Magnus' hands; That hour he prays for in his every vow Which shall be fraught with ruin for the world, When death or life shall hang upon the throw. Thrice he drew out his troops, his eagles thrice, Demanding conflict; thus, as ever, prompt To Rome's undoing: but his kinsman foe, Unheeding, trusted to his camp alone, And vain was Caesar's challenge. Then at speed By wooded fields, unseen, he led his troops Upon Dyrrhachium's fort, of Corinth born. But Magnus speeding by the ocean marge First camped on Petra's slopes, a rocky hill So named by natives, guarding thence the fort Which by its walls alone could stand assault. Those lofty battlements no men of old, No human labour fashioned; whose best work About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
