"A thoroughly readable book, which cannot fail to afford entertainment to those who take an interest in the people of the old Queen of the Sea."-Spectator. "Contains a considerable amount of curious and entertaining information not easily accessible elsewhere in any compact form."— Athenæum. "The volume is a real and solid contribution to Venice literature. It is full of poetry and full of heart. We feel that it is written by one who has a passion for his subject, by one who knows how love-impelling Venice is, who knows how genial, frank, and winning are her people, and who desires others to accept his belief."—Academy. "We could spare half a dozen of the ordinary books of travel for it." - Saturday Review. LONDON: KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH & Co. Or the following Studies, No. 5 appeared, in a slightly different form, in the Quarterly Review, and No. II in the English Illustrated Magazine.
