Excerpt from The English in Italy, Vol. 1 of 3 As the author has thought it neces sary to preface the work with this sort of protest, he may as well take the opportunity of adding, that he lays claim to no merit of invention for the incidents contained in the following pages, they being almost altogether the fruits of observation, during a residence of several years in the Peninsula. The pencil of the writer, he declares, has been confined to sketches from the lab;amd.fl'hmmfimafionluwmuhauzand there superadded her colouring, it has merely been to the decking forth, not to the superseding of truth.

Excerpt from The English in Italy, Vol. 3 of 3 J nuns elbtane was born the younger bro ther of a noble house, of so delicate a frame and sickly a constitution, that for the first years of his existence, it was almost daily despaired of. The hold that the infant, seemed to' have of life was so frail, that all who tended him wished it broken, to spare the object further pain, 'th'em selves a continuance of anxiety. But like the seed of the wall-flower, that of life in him germed and grew hardily in the barren and un grateful crevice, in which nature had sown it. His visage, impressed with early pain and suf.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lives of the Italian Poets, Vol. 1 of 3 The names of Carey, of Rose, and Wiffen, need but be mentioned to remind the English reader, that in transferring the works of the three' greatest poets of Italy into our mother tongue, translation has been carried to a degree of per fection scarcely in any instance before attained; while the name of Roscoe, so worthy in every respect of veneration, reminds us how much has been done in this country to make known the most important periods of Italian history. Nor is there any reason to fear that the literature which so many circumstances tend to make popular in this country, should at present lose any portion of its popularity. More than one of its most distin guished scholars have lived among us, employing their talents in facilitating its study; and in Dr. Panizzi, the judicious and accomplished Professor at the London University, we have'another in stance of the advantage a country reaps in be coming the sojourn of these learned and enlight ened strangers.

Book Description
Excerpt from Italy, Handbook for Travellers, Vol. 3 The object of the present Handbook, like that of the editors other works of the same description, is to render the traveller as independent as possible of the services of guides, valets-de-place and others of the same class, to supply him with a few remarks on the progress of civilization and art among the people with whom he is about to become acquainted, and to enable him to realize to the fullest extent the enjoyment and instruction to be derived from a tour in Italy. The Handbook is, moreover, intended to place the traveller in a position to visit the places and objects most deserving of notice with the greatest possible economy of time, money, and, it may be added, temper; for in no country is the travellers patience more severely put to the test than in some parts of Italy. The editor will endeavour to accompany the enlightened traveller through the streets of the Italian towns, to all the principal edifices and works of art; and to guide his steps amidst the exquisite scenery in which Italy so richly abounds. With a few trifling exceptions, the entire Handbook is framed from the editors personal experience, acquired at the places described. As, however, infallibility cannot be attained, the editor will highly appreciate any bond fide information with which travellers may favour him. That already received, which in many instances has been most serviceable, he gratefully acknowledges. The Maps and Plans, the result of great care and research, will abundantly suffice for the use of the ordinary traveller.
