Excerpt from The Cities of Lombardy When I think of Lombardy, there comes back into my mind a country wide and gracious, watered by many a great river, and lying, a little vaguely, between always far-away mountains; a world that is all a garden, where one passes between fair hedgerows, from orchard to orchard, among the vines, where the fields are green with promise or shining with harvest, and there are meadows on the lower slopes of the mountains. And the whole of this wide garden seems to me, as is no other country in the world, to be subject to the sun, the stars and the great and beautiful clouds of an infinite sky; every landscape is filled with them, and beneath them the cities seem but small things, not cities truly, but rather sanctuaries, hidden in that garden for our delight, reverence and meditation, at the end of the endless ways, where only the restless poplars tell the ceaseless hours.

Excerpt from The Viper of Milan: A Romance of Lombardy So long as man retains his reminiscent interest in the past of which he is the product, so long will he continue to take possession of that past for the purposes of imaginative expression. And so long shall we have the historical as that form of fiction which of all is perhaps the most potent and the most perennial in its fascination. It is significant that at this precise moment when the historical novel shows so much apparent exhaustion, that there should appear such an example as The Viper of Milan, which, while actually the latest of its class, might almost be the first, so free is it from any trace of fatigue or affectation. Here is a novel in which the author writes of the past with as much sans-gene as though she were writing of the present. She moves there so perfectly at home in the mind of her period that she does not need to note all those minor details which are its outer manifestation. She makes no attempt at an elaborate reconstruction of an epoch, but surrenders herself rather to that plastic spirit of an age which molds the souls of its men and women and makes them the channel of characteristic expression in thought, feeling and action. Actually, we know of no novel that gives a more concrete, vivid and brilliant impression of the Italy of the early Renaissance; but as a matter of fact there is a total absence of that set description which forms the staple of the ordinary historical novel.

Excerpt from Plain Towns of Italy: The Cities of Old Venetia In the succeeding era of the despots, the Veneto maintained its leading position. In the Polesine it produced that resplendent race of tyrants, the oldest and most cultured of all, who from their conquest of that district descended upon Ferrara, Modena, and Reggio, placing the proud name of este amongst the antecedents of all royal lines. From the Trevisan Marches appeared that most famous and powerful of early despots, Ezzelino da Romano, who reduced the whole province beneath his bloody yoke, and has left in many a town his still visible and fearful imprint. The subsequent Della Carrara of Padua, and Della Scala of Verona, stood foremost among the tyrants of the dawning Renaissance, illustrious for their con quests as for their patronage of science, literature, and the arts, and they began the remodeling of their subject cities on the alluring lines of to-day. After them came the mightier power which caused their fall, the great Republic that stretched her resistless arms slowly over the whole eastern plain, endowing it for all time with the lustre of her name. Venice brought to the long battling cities peace, order, prosperity, and a benevolent, paternal rule that caused them to leap forward in the onrush of the Renaissance, and develop those magnificent schools of painting, sculpt ure, and architecture which made Venetia the jewel casket of Italy.

Excerpt from Venetia and Northern Italy: Being the Story of Venice, Lombardy Emilia The object of this book is to recall familiar scenes to those who have visited them, to suggest them to others, and to be of use upon the spot. It deals in outline with the history, architecture, and art of the towns of Northern Italy which lie within the triangular plain bounded on the north by the Alps, on the west by the Apennines, and on the east by the Adriatic Sea roughly, with the pleasant land that from Milano slopes to Rimini. It embraces the Lombard Lakes and the Lombard Plain; the chief towns that lie in the valley of the Po and its tributaries, and along the great [emilian Way, which the railway follows, from Como and Milan to Bologna, Rimini, and the sea. Following the railway northwards through Ravenna, Ferrara, and Padua to Venice, and omitting the north-eastern portion of the Veneto, it treats of the towns that lie at the foot of the Alps from Vicenza, Verona, and Brescia to Bergamo. In each Italian town there is a distinct personality, an individual charm, the outcome of a history and development so curiously individual and distinct. For throughout the period when, apart from Roman times, the art and architecture of these towns were in making.

Excerpt from Cities of Italy As you know, and, I sometimes think, regret, I am one of those for whom the visible world exists, very actively; and, for me, cities are like people, with souls and temperaments of their own, and it has always been one of my chief pleasures to asso ciate with the souls and temperaments congenial to me among cities. And as love, or it may be hate, can alone reveal soul to soul, among human beings, so, it seems to me, the soul of a city will reveal itself only to those who love, or, perhaps, hate it, with a far-sighted emotion. I have come upon many cities which have left me indifferent, perhaps through some accident in my way of approach; at any rate, they had nothing to say to me: Madrid, for instance, and Vienna, and St. Petersburg, and Berlin. It would be impossible for me to write about these cities: I should have nothing to say. But certain other cities, Rome, Venice, Seville, how I have loved them, what a delight it was to me merely to be alive, and living in the and what a delight it is to me to think of them, ta) imagine myself in their streets and on their waters! Moscow, Naples how I have hated them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Cities of Northern Italy For several years past I have devoted myself to collecting and arranging material for a book to embody the idea I had thus entertained. I earnestly hope it may meet a want on the part of tourists, especially Americans, who, so far as my experience goes, usually come to Eu rope with an honest and reverent desire to learn from the Old World whatever of value it has to teach them, and who are prepared to take an amount of pains in turning their trip to good account, which is both rare and praise worthy. For such readers I shall call attention at times to other sources of information. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
