Brown, Horatio Robert Forbes. In and around Venice. [*]$1.50. Scribner.
Mr. Brown’s new volume has characteristics in common with his “Life on the lagoons,” viz., full sympathy with the people, love for their customs, their legends and their life. “The short papers vary as widely in subject as in treatment. Here one finds a careful account of the Campanile of San Marco and the loggetta of Sansovino, followed by a diagrammed description of the columns of the Piazzetta, which an architect might prize.... His trips to the mainland, including a voyage to Istria, furnish several papers on out-of-the-way places, which one is glad to see through his eyes.” (Nation.)
[*] “His book is compact enough to be taken abroad as a companion to the ordinary guidebooks, and may be heartily commended to the tourist as well as the general reader.”

“Has made a charming book out of a number of facts about Venice, soberly told.”

“Some of his papers are slight, and in others there are repetitions; but, taken as a whole, this volume is a worthy successor to ‘Life on the lagoons.’”
