ITALY. By Frank Fox.
Messrs. A. & C. Black have published many books on the various cities of Italy with colour illustrations. But before this they have not offered to the public a handy volume giving a general idea of the country which was the cradle of Christian civilisation. Whether to tourists who contemplate a visit to Italy or to those who cannot hope for that pleasure, Italy will be welcome. The author has left to the vivid pictures the main task of describing Italian scenery, and devoted most of his text to telling of the spirit of the people and showing how the Italy of to-day is linked up with the Italy of the Roman Republic and the Italy of the Renaissance.
