Florence Some Tuscan Cities Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Florence Some Tuscan Cities To presume to contribute, however modest an addition, to the immense wealth of literature devoted to Florence, her history, and her art, from the days of Villani and of Muratori down to the present time, appears indeed to be beyond the powers of an inexperienced pen. In undertaking these slight descriptions, my aim has been a simple one - to write an accompaniment, if such a term is applicable to letters, to the sketches with which this book is illustrated, and to touch superficially only, such debatable subjects as Tuscan architecture, painting, and sculpture.
