Excerpt from Italy and the Italians, Vol. 1 of 2

The following pages contain nothing like a complete account of the country visited; they merely touch upon certain subjects, to which attention has been hitherto but little directed. My communications, therefore, are merely an appendix to more detailed accounts, and even within their own sphere do not pretend to approach completeness. On the other hand, through the favour of individuals in authority, and through the friendly co-operation of many well-informed men (ambassadors, public functionaries, scholars, &c.) I have collected, within a short period, more remarkable and authentic facts than it would have been possible to do under less favourable circumstances.
