Excerpt from Eastern Cities and Italian Towns: With Notes on Their Architecture
Travellers in the countries bordering the Medi terranean frequently lament the want of a Handbook containing fuller information about the architecture of the places they visit, than is generally to be found in even the most voluminous Guides. Without some acquaintance with the characteristic features of ecclesiastical and domestic buildings, they find it impossible to realise to the full the attractions of the larger cities, such as Rome, Florence, and Venice; still less are they able to appreciate the pleasures to be derived from visiting the smaller towns and villages in Italy and the East, many of which contain churches and other edifices of a most interesting character.
The admirable works of Street and Freeman on Italy and Spain are the text books of ecclesiologists.
