Excerpt from Country Walks About Florence This little books is the result of a spring and autumn spent on the Florentine hills, when the writer was suffering from a strange dis-ease of body and of soul, the result as it was thought of too eager a pursuit of his art, but in truth the payment that was demanded for a failure to achieve at the time what he most desired. Fallen into the hands of doctors (strange, unaccountable folk), forbidden to work, but encouraged to "distract himself," he began by devoting himself to a new exploration of Florence, and ended by disregarding her altogether for the country that lies about her. For indeed it is true - why should we deny it any longer? - Florence is no more: there remains beside the Arno, between the hills where once Florence stood, the most beautiful museum in the world, the one city in Italy that seems to have lost all character, to be at various seasons almost English or German or American, and, save in the dog-days perhaps, never really Tuscan at all.

Excerpt from Walks in Florence, and Its Environs, Vol. 2 We begin our review of the Public Galleries with the Uffizi, as it contains the works of artists from the eleventh to the seventeenth centuries, and thus illustrates the history of art, from the revival to the decline. The limits of this book oblige us to confine our descriptions chiefly to Tuscan, and especially Florentine, art. We hope thus to afford some assistance to the foreigner, who may not have time to acquire a profound knowledge of the subject, and who, at first sight, may find it difficult to discover any merit, still less beauty, in the early native style of painting. The corridor, extending along three sides of the Gallery, is lined with sarcophagi, statues, and busts, as well as pictures deserving notice, though, with few exceptions, inferior, as works of art, to those contained in the adjoining rooms.

Excerpt from book: With all these families, and others wilh them, Florence beheld I in so great repose, That no occasion had she whence to weep; With all these families beheld so just And glorious her people, that the lily Never upon the spear was placed reversed, Nor by division was vermilion made. Longfellow's Translation. Part II.?TOPOGRAPHY. Florence, nestling at the foot of low hills, is bounded and sheltered to the north and east by mountains with their projecting spurs, whilst westward stretches a wide valley as far as Signa, where a narrow gorge connects this part of the country with that around Pisa. At Signa the Lybian Hercules is said to have drained the Golfolina or gulf, which has still the character of a lake or marsh, and to have removed a rock which impeded the course of the Arno. This labour seems, however, to have been imperfectly performed, since, when Hannibal passed that way, B.c. 217, the land was still a morass. Hercules, nevertheless, continued in favour, though Mars was considered the tutelar god ofFlorence. To the north of the city lies Monte Morello, a bold heath- capped mountain which was formerly overgrown with mulberry- trees; to the east is the range of Fiesolan Hills, and in the extreme distance rises the loftier height of Monte Senario, distinguished from various points round Florence by the monastery of the 'Servi di Maria, ' whose white walls, on the summit, are more distinctly visible from their contrast with the dark woods around. Further eastward, the noble line of hills above Vallombrosa divides the valley of the Arno from the fertile district of the Casentino and the lofty mountain of Falterone, whence the Arno and the Tiber have their source. South ofFlorence are lower ranges of hills, comprising those of San Miniato, San Giorgio, and Bellos...
