Rome, like Venice, is merely the stoppingplace of the modern Man of Letters. Florence is his home. He lives in Florence; he lodges here. In Florence he buys a villa, or he takes a long lease of a house; and sometimes he engages a plot in the Protestant Cemetery; in Rome he usually stays at a hotel, or he makes pension arrangements for a limited period. If he dies in Rome he sometimes leaves here only a portion of his anatomy, and he sends his heart, or his ashes, to be buried somewhere else. There are two distinct classes of Englishspeaking visitors to Rome, each of whom, no doubt, are willing to learn something, and to see something, of its Literary Landmarks.
