“There is scarcely a piece in the present volume that is devoid of melodious cadences and poetic imagery, yet the effect of the whole is of sunrise on a foggy morning at sea. Mr. Carman’s later work lacks poetic intensity, and the reader of it takes little away with him.”

“The author has lived long in the Tuscan cities and has learned to admire the Tuscan character. His book is a series of expositions of that character in various manifestations. First, there are some chapters about the temperament of the people in general; then descriptions of types, such as the priest, the cook and the coachman; then accounts of less-known localities—Portoferraio, Mont La Verna, Orbetello—and of the national sport and the national lottery.”—Ind.
