Excerpt from Letters From Rome to Friends in England
IN strictness, these were not Letters from Rome. A traveller who resides but a short time in that wondrous city, has no leisure to prepare Letters for the press. Scarcely is he able to jot down, with punctuality, the impressions of the passing hour; especially if, to every other claim on his time, are superadded the duties, let me rather say, the privileges) - of a Chaplain. The title of the present volume, nevertheless, sufiiciently describes its general cha motor. Its miscellaneous contents must be ascertained from an inspection of the headings of its chapters.
