Excerpt from Pistoja
The author of this imperfect little book having personally experienced the need of an English guide in Pistoja, has culled from various sources the following account of the principal attractions of the city, with no thought of being original, critical or exhaustive, but simply with the honest wish, that the few pages of collated facts may serve the traveller as an open sesame to some of the rare attractions of Pistoja. Hearty thanks are due to the friends who have forwarded this little venture; to Messrs. Alinari Brothers who have permitted the reproduction of their photographs; and particularly to Miss M. M. Newell, for her interest and assistance in illustra ting the book; above all to Dr. Peleo Bacci, Royal Inspector of Monuments of Art in the Pistojese district, who has most courteously placed so much of his time and valuable information at the service of the writer.
