Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greatness and Decline of Venice: A Prize Essay, Read in the Theatre, Oxford, June 16th, 1858 Few educated men are not familiar with at least the most striking features of that long and splendid pageant which is known to us as the History of Rome. The simple fables which are so closely interwoven with the dawning narrative, the stories of the twin-brothers and their mysterious foster mother, - of the good King Servius and the wicked Tullia, - of the proud Tarquin and'the chaste Lucretia, - of the Horatii and their bloody duei, - of Curtius and his magnificent self-sacrifice, - of Cincinnatus and his grand simplicity; these and many others, coming as they do much nearer to us than the stories of Arthur, or Alfred, or cmur-de-lion, impress themselves upon our minds with a vividness and reality which no frigid rationalism can ever completely ed'ace. Later studies bring out with distinctness the rising fortunes of the Commonwealth to the full effulgence of the Empire under Augustus, and so through all the painful chronicle of its decline, until the advent of the Goths. But when the curtain has fallen upon the Western Empire, and the play is apparently played out, few care to await its rise upon that great life-drama which, during the mediaeval period, was acted again upon the old classic ground. Many do not even suspect that Italy, during that most critical. Period, was the theatre of great events, of struggles for liberty as glorious and more obstinate than those of the populus and the plebs, of factions and proscrip tions as fierce and sanguinary as those of Marius and Sylla, of tyrants as depraved and cruel as the worst of the Caesars, of great names and large patriotism, of pure art and wide-spread com merce, all with a greater claim upon our sympathies than those of Rome, because, while she stands on the further side of that great gulf which yawns between the old order and the new, the Italian republics stand upon this side, the history of Rome is that of a vanished yesterday, the story of mediaeval Italy is that of the dawn of to-day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pirate welfare played a prominent part in Mediterranean life during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Its influence was significant both in the decline of Venice and in the shift of the economic hegemony of Europe. Professor Tenenti maintains that Venice is a fitting focus for study of this period, for the mediterranean became and increasingly a centre of European activity. On one side was Venice which, in spite of a huge navy and a still sizable merchant fleet, observed the strictest neutrality and sought only to protect her trade. On the other were potentially or openly hostile navies, which clashed with one another and frequently also with Venetian shipping. english and Dutch navies forced their way into the area by a combination of trade and piracy and established themselves in positions of great strength. Professor Tenenti analyzes the impact of northern piracy on the trade of the Venetian republic and her failure to resist this threat. During the early seventeenth century Venetian prosperity was irreparably damaged, not only by competition from the north, but also by a severe shipbuilding crisis. He suggests that Venice wa unable to adapt the organization, equipment and discipline of her navy to the changed conditions; for these were spheres in which her pride was particularly strong and tradition enduring. He describes the different types of pirates from the Barbary pirates, the Knights of Malta and the English corsairs to the Uscocchi, whom even sophisticated Venetians regarded as necromancers. The translation of this important work fo Venetian economic history makes a valuable addition to the books on the period available to English readers.
