Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy, Vol. 1 of 3: Savoy, Piedmont, Genoa, Milan The Description of Italy in the Geography of Malte Brun, was consulted with the high expec tations justified by the former portions of this elaborate work; and had the learned Author lived to complete his task, this portion of it would doubtless have assumed a different character. As it is, the topography of Italy bears every mark of hasty and incompetent continuation. Mr. Simond and le Docteur Valentin are the only modern travellers to whom any reference is made, neither of whom has any claim to exclusive deference in a work of a scientific character. In short. The information contained in this part of the work, is both meagre and inaccurate. The statistical tablea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italy and the Italian Islands, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Earliest Ages to the Present Time Literature, art, and topography - the themes most generally attractive - occupy more than one-third of the whole space. Nearly two-thirds are assigned to the history of the people, recounting their diversified poli tical changes, and describing the aspects successively assumed by society and national character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Journeys, Vol. 1 We did not know, when we started from home in Venice, on the 8th of November 1864, that we had taken the longest road to Rome. We thought that of all the proverbial paths to the Eternal City that leading to Padua, and thence through Ferrara and Bologna to Florence, and so down the sea-shore from Leghorn to Civita Vecchia, was the best, the briefest, and the cheapest. Who could have dreamed that this path, so wisely and carefully chosen, would lead us to Genoa, conduct us on shipboard, toss us four dizzy days and nights, and set us down, void, battered, and bewildered, in Naples?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Italian Poets, Vol. 1 of 3 The names of Carey, of Rose, and Wiffen, need but be mentioned to remind the English reader, that in transferring the works of the three' greatest poets of Italy into our mother tongue, translation has been carried to a degree of per fection scarcely in any instance before attained; while the name of Roscoe, so worthy in every respect of veneration, reminds us how much has been done in this country to make known the most important periods of Italian history. Nor is there any reason to fear that the literature which so many circumstances tend to make popular in this country, should at present lose any portion of its popularity. More than one of its most distin guished scholars have lived among us, employing their talents in facilitating its study; and in Dr. Panizzi, the judicious and accomplished Professor at the London University, we have'another in stance of the advantage a country reaps in be coming the sojourn of these learned and enlight ened strangers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Something of Italy The present volume is only what it purports to be, Something, not much, about italy - just those glances at the country, its people, and usages which were casually obtained during a three months' excursion in the spring and summer of 1862, along with such observations as are suggested by the hopeful progress of those portions of the Italian peninsula lately nationalised, as well as by the dismal backwardness of those other parts - Rome and Venetia - still under an antiquated and relentless thraldom. The illustrations are chie y from photographs, in the prepara tion of which the Italians sustain their reputation for artistic excellence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Dear Schoolmate: - There is no need to ask you why we have an Italian story in the Schoolmate Books. I can already hear you saying: "Because an Italian discovered America, - Christopher Columbus, a Genoese, in 1492. And also because America takes its name from another Italian, - Amerigo Vespucci, a Florentine, who followed Columbus across the ocean in 1499." Yes; you know your lesson very well. These are surely the best of reasons for having an Italian story in our series. But they are not the only ones. Columbus and Vespucci are not the only Italians who ever discovered America.

Download or read book Guicciardini Dialogue on the Government of Florence written by Francesco Guicciardini and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-06-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first translation into English of Guicciardini's Dialogue on the Government of Florence. Written in the early 1520s by the author of the famous History of Italy, as well as a History of Florence and Political Maxims and Reflections, this dialogue presents what is arguably the most searching and comprehensive analysis of the politics of his times. Like Machiavelli, his contemporary and friend, Guicciardini rejects classical republican arguments in the name of the new political realism and acknowledges the important role of patronage and graft in contemporary politics and the illegitimacy of nearly all forms of political power. In this Dialogue he provides one of the clearest expositions of the term 'reason of state', which he was one of the first to employ and which he uses to justify the priority of state interest over private morality and religion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in America and Italy, Vol. 1 of 2 I have nothing particular to say respecting the Travels in America here submitted to the reader: the narrative of them is taken, like the subject of The Natchez, from the original manuscript of the latter work. These T ravels carry with them their commentary and their history. My different works contain frequent recollections of my peregrinations in America. I thought at first to collect them and to introduce them under their proper dates into my narrative, but I relinquished this intention to avoid in serting them twice; I have therefore contented myself with referring to these passages. Some, however, I have quoted when they appeared necessary to the due understanding of the text, and were not too long.

At first the greatness Of the new knowledge overwhelmed one. I remember writing to the great French Prelate who received me into the Church, that I felt like a beggar suddenly admitted into the palace Of his King, dazzled with the warmth and splendour, yet utterly ignorant of which way to turn or how to comport himself in those august surroundings. I fancy others have experienced the like bewilderment, and happy they, if they fell into such wise and loving hands as those which were held out to me and finally helped me to fix on a study which, far from making the most serious of all subjects dry and unattractive, enriched it with the wann est touches Of human feeling the holy glory Of the true romance.
