BY REV. ROBERT TURNBULL, Author of “The Genius of Scotland.”
1 vol. 12mo, with two engravings. $1 25.
The edition with extra illustrations, handsomely bound, will be ready in the autumn.
“Mr. Turnbull gives us the orange groves, and the fountains, and the gondolas, and the frescoes and the ruins, with touches of personal adventure, and sketches of biography, and glimpses of the life, literature, and religion of Modern Italy, seen with the quick, comprehensive glances of an American traveler, impulsive, inquisitive, and enthusiastic. His book is a pleasant record of a tourist’s impressions, without the inflection of the tiresome minutiæ of his everyday experience.”—Literary World.
“At a moment when Italy is about to be regenerated—when the lone-slumbering spirit of the people is about assuming its ancient vigor, a work of this kind is desirable * * * The country, its people, and prominent features are given with much truth and force.”—Democratic Review.
