But no eye noted the first low huts, built Of mud bricks, nor measured those light and shallow boats which stood, stabled like horses, at the door Of every house; no historian traced the internal growth Of these fishing stations; and we have been left to suppose what has Often been stated, that the refugees from the mainland, flying before the frequent foreign occupations, found the islands, where they sought Shelter, deserted mud banks out at sea. This could not have been the case. Venice was not peopled solely by exiles from Aquileia, Oderzo, Concordia, or Padua. Through the Obscurity Of the records which have reached us, we can trace a long-continued struggle raging inside venice, t before a thorough fusion of the original and the immigrant populations could be brought about. There were years Of quarrelling between Malamocco, where the Older race predominated, and Heraclea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venetian Life, Vol. 1 Something more than one half of the book appeared in letters to the Boston Advertiser. In the meanwhile, and for more than a year afterwards, the Scope of the work enlarged itself so as to include the historical chap ters, though the chapter on commerce was written after it had passed to a second edition. Much later, after many editions had been exhausted, I added a chapter in which I drew upon my ripened memories. The rest was the effect of immediate observation and research in the atmosphere of the object. The effect of the research I was disposed to value most, because it cost me the most labor, all manner of studious Inquiry being alien to me, while to see things, and paint them as I saw them, was evermore a delight in which there was never the sense of fatigue. I still rather wonder at the number of the books I must have turned over, and actually in some cases read through, to get at that historical stufi' but I do not mind own ing that here I had the help of the curiously gifted and variously lettered house-mate elsewhere mentioned, who transcribed sheaves of notes for me in the Library of St. Mark. I could not use them all, and a very Slight scrutiny of the result might prove that I liked best to use those which were most pictorial and dramatic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In and Around Venice I have added some chapters on a few of the less known places in the neighbourhood which may be of use to those who wish to see what the mainland is like. The first chapter appeared in Venetian Studies, now out of print. It was written in 1887, and in some cases reference is made to places which no longer exist.

This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venetian Discourses, Drawn From the History, Art Customs of Venice Venice was the most stable, the most peace ful, the most prosperous, and the longest lived Republic the world has ever seen. Through many an age in the mid-sea she dwelt, From her retreat calmly contemplating The changes of the Earth, herself unchanged. A scene of light and glory, a dominion That has endured the longest among men. Such being the case, nothing, I think, could be more Opposed to reason and to probability than the notion, too commonly entertained, that she; owed her superlative greatness to a policy and to practices that savoured of piracy and pillage, of tyranny and injustice, of cruelty and oppression. And, from my own study of Venice and Venetian history, I am prepared to say that no notion could be more opposed to truth and to fact The more I know of the old Venetians, the more I feel called upon to admire not only their marvel lous energy and industry, their perseverance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Venetian Printing Press: An Historical Study Based Upon Documents for the Most Part Hitherto Unpublished In this study I trace the history of the Venetian press from its introduction, through the sixteenth century - noting especially how press legislation grew up, preceded by custom and pra&ice, and then formulated in law; how the government dealt with such questions as copyright, protection, and censorship; how the Guild of Printers and Booksellers was founded and governed; how the book trade came under the influence of the Index and the Inquisitorial censorship, and how the Republic endeavoured to protect the trade, thereby involving itself in a long struggle with the Church of Rome - till we reach the slow decline of the Venetian press through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, in spite of the legis lation which was designed to preserve it. I have called the work a study, rather than a history of the Venetian press, because I feel that a true history of that press would require far more bibliographical knowledge than I possess. This book will have fulfilled its purpose if it serves as a pioneer along a line of research which has never been adequately explored, except at its beginning, and then almost entirely from a bibliographical, not from an historical or egal point of view.

Download or read book Venice and Its Art Classic Reprint written by Harry Huntington Powers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-23 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice and Its Art The present work is in a sense the continuation of an undertaking which began with the publication of the Art Of Florence in 1912. It was intended from the be ginning to cover briefly the art Of the Italian Renaissance in two volumes, a plan now tardily realized after many and prolonged interruptions. The present volume differs from its predecessor in that more attention is given to the city itself, to its history as a key to the understand ing Of its art and to its own growth and physical trans formation as a work Of art in itself. This is in line with the growing feeling Of the writer that art is an expression of the spiritual and cultural life of a people and that their history is the key to its interpretation. The purpose of the book will be Clear to those who are familiar with the earlier volume or with the author's work in the galleries Of Europe. The book is not a record Of personal research.
