Synopsis

Book by Howells WD

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In correcting this book for a 9econd edition, I have sought to complete it without altering its original plan: I have given a new chapter sketching the history of Venetian Commerce and noticing the present trade and industry of Venice; I have amplified somewhat the chapter on the national Holidays, and haye afipctd an index to the chief historical persons, incidents, and places mentioned. :-. Believing that such value as my book may have is in fidelity to what I actually saw and knew of Venice, I have not attempted to follow speculatively the grand and happy events of last summer in their effects upon her life. I ndeed, I fancy that in the traits at which I loved most to look, the life of Venice is not so much changed as her fortunes; but at any rate I am content to remain true to what was fact one year ago. W. D. H. Cambridge, January i, 1867.
