Excerpt from Historical and Architectural Sketches: Chiefly Italian
The following pieces, with two exceptions, are reprinted from the Saturday Review. That headed "Trier" appeared in the Pall Mali Gazette, and that headed "Vercelli" is now printed for the first time. My best thanks are due to the Editors of the two papers concerned for the leave kindly given me to reprint the articles.
Some of the papers were written at or near the places spoken of, with little or no help from books. Others were written after my return home, with the same means of reference as any other of my writings. I do not doubt that the reader will easily mark the difference between the two classes. All the papers of both classes have been carefully revised, and corrected and improved where there was need; but I did not think it right to recast the first class of articles, or to take away from them the character of first impressions, even when I might by this means have made them more complete.
