Excerpt from The Italian Lakes
In giving the title - The Italian Lakes - to the present volume, some apology is due to those who turn over the following pages. It has been deemed advisable, however, only to include those lakes in Northern Italy to which foreign visitors most easily wend their way, and the compilers of this book much regret that it has been found impossible to include the Lago di Garda - considered by many to be the finest, as it is the largest, of the Italian Lakes, and the Lago di Varese, which also has its votaries. The beautiful and historic lakes of Trasimene, Bolsena, and others in Central Italy, the lakes of Albano, Nemi, Bracciano, and many less well-known localities, should undoubtedly find a place in a volume bearing a title so comprehensive as that of The Italian Lakes.
Limitation of space will, it is hoped, be accepted as an excuse for omissions which the critical reader who is also a lover of Italy might otherwise have just reason to resent.
