Excerpt from Letters From Italy to a Younger Sister
Italy has been the theme of so many able and distinguished writers - its history, literature, antiquities, and treasures of art, all that the truth or romance of past and present times can supply, have been so often presented to the public, both in poetry and prose, that the present work may seem an unnecessary, if not a presumptuous undertaking, and many will ask, "Can anything new be said of Italy?" I at once confess that in writing, my object has not been novelty, but utility; for amongst the various Works on Italy that have fallen in my way, I have not found one which brings this country, with all its interesting associations, within the reach of young people.
