Excerpt from Venice as an Art City How it soars aloft! Slender and yet imposing in solitary grandeur, unsupported by any other building an island like Venice herself. It was commenced in the tenth century, when Venice had already been for six generations a sea power under her Doges. We ascend, and stand amazed at the be wilderingly beautiful and, at the same time, quaint panorama of the Island City. Gradually we begin to perceive how this pile-supported city and sea-fortress, inaccessible to the mail-clad land-rats of the Lombard, Frankish, and German hordes, was marked by destiny to become a bridge between the lands of the North and the South - the most renowned trade-centre, as well as the headquarters Of shipping and finance, in the Middle Ages; how she also became the treasure-house into which the riches Of three continents poured, and became converted into springs of luxury and wealth.

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. N O archives have been ransacked, no records discovered, no manuscripts edited or read. Information regarding the works here dis cussed is to be found in any good library.

Excerpt from Venice There is no city more written about, more painted, and more misrepresented, than Venice. Students, poets, and painters have combined in reproducing her many charms. Usually, however, Venice is described in a hurried, careless way: the subject is seldom gone deeply into, and studied as it should be, before attempting to compile a book. It is only one who has been there, and observed the life and characteristics of the people for years, who can gain any true perception of their character. Those who have not been to Venice must needs know by heart her attractions, which have been so persistently thrust before the public; but unless half a dozen really excellent books have been read concerning her, the' city of their imaginations must be a theatrical Venice, unreal and altogether false.

If he wishes to employ the first, he need only name his hdtel, in order to be shown which omnibus to take. (rates for gondolas page XIX) Travellers coming by the steamboat from Trieste (which anchors Opposite the Piazzetta) are sometimes sent ashore, when their number is large, in gondolas by parties. It may be remarked, that the anchorage of the steamer is nearer than the railroad sta tion to most of the hotels.

Excerpt from Venice Its History, Art, Industries and Modern Life At Venice, he who is happy, he for whom silence has no charms and who loves the tumult of the world, soon finds his footsteps dogged by limping dulness. But those who have known the sorrows of life return gladly thither; the place is catch ing - every corner or open square recommends itself to the affections. The lightness of the heavens, the even purity of the air, the steely shine of the lagoon, the roseate reflections of the walls, the nights as clear as day, the softness of the Venetian dialect, the trustfulness and placability of the people, their tolerance for all men's humors, and their gentle intercourse, - out of all these results that unseizable and seductive quality which is indeed Venice, which sings at a man's heart, and so possesses and subdues him that he shall feel far from home whenever he is far from the Piazzetta.

Excerpt from A History of Painting, Vol. 2 of 8: The Renaissance in Venice The city Of Venice, rising out of the waters, as Philip de Commines set eyes upon her on the edge of the fifteen hundreds the most triumphant city that I have ever seen - lay to either side of the Grand Canal on the east the Piazza di San Marco, flanked by its Church of the Doges, far-famed San Marco, and their sumptuous Palace with its chamber of the Grand Council, seat of the government of the Republic on the west, the Piazza of the Rialto, the mart of the world, where forgathered her merchants. A bridge by the Rialto, spanning the canal, joined the two great squares by the way Of the Winding thoroughfare that is called the Merceria.

Excerpt from The Story of Venice May we be permitted a word Of counsel to the returning traveller who has not restricted his move ments by taking the usual circular ticket. If he voyage by the little steamer that plies between the Riva degli Schiavoni and Fusina (whence a steam tram will carry him to the S. Sofia station at Padua, near the Arena Chapel), he will pass along the Old route from the mainland, and enjoy a last and certainly a fond and lingering view Of the wonderful city as the boat slowly steams away from Venice through the canals Of the Zattere and Of Fusina. The train to Padua passes along the road that follows the course Of the Canale di Brenta, affording glimpses Of many an Old patrician palace in picturesque decay. He will touch at Oriago where Jacopo del Cassero, who entreated Dante's prayers in the ante-purgatorio, was overtaken and murdered by the assassins of the tyrant Azzo VIII. Of Este, and saw among the reeds and the mire1 a pool growing on the ground from his veins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
