Excerpt from Walks in Florence, Vol. 1 of 2 Whilst every visitor to Florence speaks in raptures of her beauty, few remain long enough to become really acquainted with her Art-treasures, her historical reminiscences, or the character of her people. It is in the churches, palaces, and streets of Florence, within the compass of daily walks, that we must search for the true history of her citizens. Simple, courteous, yet reserved, humorous and fond of ease, yet proud of traditional industry and freedom, but still more proud of the traditional greatness of his city, the Florentine retains many of the virtues, with some of the defects of his Republican forefathers.

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 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.

E begin our review of the public galleries with the Uffizi, as it contains the works of artists from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century, arranged chronologically, and thus illustrating-the History of Art from the revival to the decline. The limits of this volume oblige us to confine our description almost entirely to Tuscan, and especially Florentine Art; and, with rare exceptions, we mention the names or works of celebrated painters or sculptors of other schools. 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 Uffizi Gallery is lined with sarcophagi, statues, and busts, as well as pictures, all deserving attention, though, with few excep First Corridor. v tions, inferior to the works of art contained in the adjoining rooms. Beneath the vaulted ceiling, which is painted in arabesques, are portraits of emperors, kings, and distinguished persons of all nations; they are only, however, inferior copies of mediocre pictures, and were placed here by the Grand-Duke Cosimo I. The earliest example of art in the gallery--No. i--is a picture of the Madonna and Child, by Andrea Rico of Candia, who lived in the latter half of the eleventh century. His works belong to what is called Byzantine art. The treatment of the subject is conventional; the figures disposed according to established usage, or in the manner commonly practised by the artists in Byzantium (Constantinople). The Child, seated on one hand of the Virgin, clings with a natural...

Excerpt from Florence, Vol. 1 of 2: The Beautiful Sion perhaps lends to it an additional charm. The iron rail traverses, but has not invaded its repose, peaceful hamlets rest on the banks of the noble Loire, which rolls on its course with the stillness of a strong and mighty Spirit conscious of a great purpose. Here commerce recals to the happy, listless tra veller, idling on the river banks, that, separate himself as he may from the world, there are links which cannot be broken, and that even the silent, unconscious river binds man to man, and nation to nation; but here it is commerce in her most graceful form, such as artists love to paint, and poets to.
