Excerpt from Summer Experiences of Rome, Perugia, and Siena, in 1854, and Sketches of the Islands in the Bay of Naples: With Illustrations
Ir may perhaps seem unnecessary to add another work on Italy, to the number of those already published.
The authoress hopes, however, that upon perusal, her letters will not be found a repe tition of what has been written by others. During a residence in Italy of three years and a-half, she wrote constantly letters to her relations, and kept notes of all she saw. Upon her return to England, she was re quested to publish, and has selected a period of four months in 1854, as that most likely to be of general interest. Few English visit the Eternal City in the summer; they are consequently unacquainted with what is then going on. Tourists are usually too hurried to bestow much time upon Perugia and Siena, both of which are well worth long visits.
The authoress will be very glad if her account should induce any one, in search of a sum mer residence in Italy, to turn their attention to these two cities, which combine beauty of scenery, treasures of art and painting, with a cool temperature and economy. She mixed as much as possible with the people of the country, and sought information from them; but having had no access to books, which might have enabled her to write a far more complete account of the early painters, she can merely offer the result of her own observa tions, made after careful study and all the inquiries in her power.
