The work offers a good insight into Italy in the early nineteenth century. Written by Charles Kelsall, a traveller and architect. He designed buildings in varying styles, including Grecian. His other works were 'Remarks Touching Geography Especially that of the British Isles' and 'Esquisse de mes travaux, de mes voyages, et de mes opinions'.
