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._
