Présentation de l'éditeur
Rome ,during the autumnal Keats, is certainly the mofet desolate and forlorn. A religious, a funeral procession, mendicants livid from the effects of the malaria ,eating away with an additional kiss the toes of the pilot of the Galilean lake are the objects which principally fix the attention of the stranger jwho at that season, can only hope to derive amusement from sources, which the living world is unable to afford. But Piome 5from its historical recollections alone, presents the richest compensation for the absence of that activity seen in other capitals. A thens ,V enice ,G enoa ,furnish, it is true, the memory with a series of highly interesting events jbut they can only be contemplated in reference to one system of civil polity jor if there be more, the differential shades are unimportant, and feebly marked. Not so the ancient mistress of the world 5which from the grandeur and variety of her revolutions ,has a stronger hold upon the memory. Dupatyj in a work too enthusiastic ,but not destitute of merit, arranges its history in three epochs.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
