Excerpt from The Stones of Venice, Vol. 1 A Good many years ago now, wandering about Italy, I found myself, almost by accident, in Venice. My intention was to stay a week only, but it happened that during that time I somehow found out my way to a public library, which was situated in an old palace on one of the back canals near S. Maria Formosa, and here, among the few English books, I discovered, and for the first time made acquaintance with, Ruskin's "Stones of Venice." The book engrossed me immediately. Every night until the closing of the library I sat up filling notebooks with definitions and descriptions, or with diagrams of arches and capitals, and all day I rowed from church to church and palace to palace, comparing, examining, and from time to time adding certain profound reflections of my own to the ideas with which Ruskin had supplied me. The immediate result of all this was that from a week my stay lengthened to three months, but the more important one was that, in this way, through the instrumentality of this book, there was unlocked for me a source of interest which grew into one of the most engrossing occupations and studies of my life, an incentive to many journeys and a chief clue and help to the understanding of history. And although by and by many of Ruskin's judgements came to me to seem untenable, and I let them go, yet this in no way affected or lessened the interest which he had revealed in the subject, and which continued steadily to grow and increase. My reason for recalling this personal incident here is that it seems to me a good illustration of Ruskin's general influence. Most people have felt the attraction of that peculiar and vital fascination with which he invested the study of art, and most people, too, have learnt ultimately to question pretty freely his decisions and judgements, and to doubt whether his enthusiastic and emotional manner of adopting theories that were pleasing to him was calculated to stand the test of disinterested examination.

It was stated in the commencement of the preceding chapter that the Gothic art of Venice was separated by the building of the Ducal Palace into two distinct periods; and that in all the domestic edifices which were raised for half a century after its completion, their characteristic and chiefly effective portions were more or less directly copied from it. The fact is, that the Ducal Palace was the great work of Venice at this period, itself the principal effort of her imagination, employing her best architects in its masonry, and her best painters in its decoration, for a long series of years; and we must receive it, as a remarkable testimony to the influence which it possessed over the minds of those who saw it in its progress, that, while in the other cities of Italy every palace and church was rising in some original and daily more daring form, the majesty of this single building was able to give pause to the Gothic imagination in its full career; stayed the restlessness of innovation in an instant, and forbade the powers which had created it thenceforth to exert themselves in new directions, or endeavour to summon an image more attractive. 11. The reader will hardly believe that while the architectural invention of the Venetians was thus lost, Narcissus-like, in self-contemplation, the various accounts of the progress of the building thus admired and beloved are so confused as frequently to leave it doubtful to what portion of the palace they refer; and that there is actually, at the time being, a dispute between the best Venetian antiquaries, whether the main facade of the palace be of the fo

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"Thus much, however, it is necessary for the reader to know, that, when I planned the work, I had materials by me, collected at different times of sojourn in Venice during the last seventeen years, which it seemed to me might be arranged with little difficulty, and which I believe to be of value as illustrating the history of Southern Gothic. Requiring, however, some clearer assurance respecting certain points of chronology, I went to Venice finally in the autumn of 1849, not doubting but that the dates of the principal edifices of the ancient city were either ascertained, or ascertainable without extraordinary research." -Preface

Excerpt from The Stones of Venice, Vol. 1 IN the course of arranging the following essay, I put many things aside in my thoughts to be said in the Preface, things which I shall now put aside altogether, and pass by; for when a book has been advertised a year and a half, it seems best to present it with as little preface as possible.

Excerpt from The Stones of Venice, Vol. 2: The Sea-Stories R. IN the olden days of travelling, now to return no more, in which distance could not be vanquished without toil, but in which that toil was rewarded, partly by the power of deliberate survey of the countries through which the journey lay, and partly by the happiness of the evening hours, when, from the top of the last hill he had surmounted, the traveller beheld the quiet village where he was to rest, scattered among the mead ows beside its valley stream or, from the long-hoped-for turn in the dusty perspective of the causeway, saw, for the first time, the towers of some famed city, faint in the rays of sunset hours of peaceful and thoughtful pleasure, for which the rush of the arrival in the railway station is perhaps not always, or to all men, an equivalent, - in those days, I say, when there was something more to be anticipated and remembered in the first aspect of each successive halting-place, than a new ar rangement of glass roofing and iron girder, there were few mo ments of which the recollection was more fondly cherished by the traveller than that which, as I endeavored to describe in the close of the last chapter, brought him within sight of Venice, as his gondola shot into the open lagoon from the canal of Mestre. Not but that the aspect of the city itself was generally the source of some slight disappointment, for, seen in this direction, its buildings are far less characteristic than.
