Excerpt from Italy and Its Inhabitants, Vol. 1
My aim in the following pages is, to describe Italy exactly as it is: - making men and manners the principal objects of my attention, without neglecting anything that is worthy of notice in the face of the country: never exaggerating the beautiful or the disagreeable; not wholly discarding enthusiasm, but never, I hope, suffering it to lead me essentially astray; speaking freely of abuses, but not wilfully calumniating.
