They have no caps to raise; when the carriage has passed, they leave the donkeys and hang on behind like a swarm of bees. The driver is quite aware of this, and his long whip, which he has cracked at inter vals all the way from Lucca, - would reach the grinning, white-toothed little vagabonds well; but he, - the driver, grins too, and spares them.

If possible, I take a daily walk in the beautiful environs. Thus, one afternoon, I visited the Cascines. The woods and meadows were most exquisitely illumined by the sunbright evening; about midnight a shower of rain fell on the cultivated hills; and towards morning Florence, with its domes and towers, was sharply defined upon a ground of black clouds. The whole scene was as diversified as beautiful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy and the Italians, Vol. 1 of 2 The following pages contain nothing like a com plete account of the country visited; they merely touch upon certain subjects, to which attention has been hitherto but little directed. My communica tions, therefore, are merely an appendix to more detailed accounts, and even within their own sphere do not pretend to approach completeness. On the other hand, through the favour of individuals in authority, and through the friendly co-operation of many well-informed men (ambassadors, public func tionaries, scholars, 8m.) I have collected, within a short period, more remarkable and authentic facts than it would have been possible to do under less favourable circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Yesterdays, Vol. 2 My friend was Irish, pur sang, and her apprecia tions were extremely individual ones; things that other people felt obliged to rave about left her quite cold; but, when she had caught and joined the links Of some beau tiful story that the world had overlooked or forgotten, she became a veritable flame Of enthusiasm, and every tiny detail and souvenir she could connect with it had to be sought out and stored in the big warm Shrine of her heart. I think, though I am not certain, that She knew the story of the house on the Aventine before she came to Rome. Anyway, it was she who took me there, and we went over story and house together, and were ex ceedingly loath to come away when the Ave Maria rang over the city and all respectable people turned their faces homewards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Napoleon, Vol. 2 of 2 On the same day, a deputation from the kingdom of Italy waited upon the Sovereign, to unite its felicitations with those of the empire. Napoleon seemed to have become an object of adoration to all those who, by their relation to him or his government, were in any way participators of his glory. He alone was the same man as formerly, and remained undazzled by the splendour which invested his person and name. His reply to his Italian subjects has less of pomp or assumption than many of the proclamations published when he was merely General-in-chief of the Army of Italy. I experienced pe culiar satisfaction, he said, in the course of the last campaign, in Witnessing the excellent conduct of my Italian troops. For the first time, after many ages, the Italians have won renown in the great theatre of the world. I hope that this happy commencement will excite the emulation of the nation, - that the maidens of my good kingdom, when they choose husbands, will distinguish between youths who lounge away their days in the boudoir, and those who are marked with honourable scars obtained in the service of their country. You may inform my people, on your return, that I intend shortly to make a tour of my Italian dominions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Dictionary of the English and Italian Languages Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Joseph Baretti and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-08 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary Of The English And Italian Languages, Vol. 2In introducing this new Edition of Baretti's Italian and English Dictionary, it might naturally be expected of the Editor, that in his prefatory Remarks, he would pursue the common plan of finding fault with his Predecessors, and vaunting his own additions and corrections; hut the present revisor feels too much respect for the labours of Baretti, and his immediate successors, to attempt to advance his own credit at their expense. In speaking of the work itself, he prefers therefore to notice the general idea of its compilation in Baretti's own words: - "That finding Altieri's Dictionary (though far superior to those of Florio and Torriano) materially defective, both in the number, and in the definition of the words; and having resolved to preface both Volumes with a concise Grammar of each language, for the use of those who were not initiated, he had chosen for his faithful guides, in the grammatical labyrinth, Dr. Johnson in the English, and Buonmattei in the Italian."The Editors of the second and third Editions take credit for having made many additions, and corrected various omissions, as also for having thrown out a variety of indelicate, obsolete, and provincial terms, of no use in themselves, and tending only to increase, unnecessarily, the bulk of the Volumes.It would appear, therefore, at first sight, (with such guides, ) that nothing more would be necessary, in giving a new edition, than to follow the path they had previously trodden. The numerous and well-grounded complaints, however, which resounded from all quarters, too plainly proved, that similar attention had not been paid to the subsequent editions, from the multitude of glaring defects, which had crept in, the quantity of typographical errors, and particularly the unaccountable, and almost total omission of the distinction of the parts of speech, and the nature of the verbs, so essentially necessary in all languages.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Decade of Italian Women, Vol. 2 of 2 Englishmen are wont to estimate the study of the literature of Greece and Rome in a manner very much at variance with the ideas expressed in the above sentences; and judging it, as of course we do, from its results among ourselves, most justly so. It would take us much too far afield to examine satisfactorily why these results should have been so different in the two cases. The most important portion of the causes of difference would probably be found to consist in the dissimilarity of our northern idiosyncrasies to those of the ancient writers. In Italy, the old tree bore its own natural fruit. With us, it was engrafted on another stock. The southern mind became all classical. The northern mind was modified only by contact with the ancient literature. Perhaps also, some weight may be allowed to the greater difficulty of the study in our case; whence it has arisen, that the thorough and analytical study of the dead lan guages, has been deemed eminently profitable as intellectual discipline, and as the best foundation of general mental culture.
