A historian is not always an antiquary, even less frequently is an antiquary a historian; by combining the two characters, he thereby redeems his historical writings from the dangers of shallowness and inaccuracy, and his antiquarianism from pedantry and dryness.... From the information afforded by the essays themselves, we may gather much which should heighten the enjoyment of visits to the inexhaustible architectural treasures of the Italian Peninsula."—The Times. "For these essays we have only words of unqualified praise; they are full of valuable information, and are delightfully interesting."—Westminster Review. "Full of valuable teachings and suggestions to all who are ready to profit by them."—Academy. "Those who know Italy will retrace their steps with delight in Mr. Freeman's company, and find him a most interesting guide and instructor, not merely in the architectural, but in the history of the various Italian towns that he deals with.... One of the most interesting features of the volume are the illustrations, twenty-two in number, from the author's own pencil."—Examiner. MACMILLAN & CO., LONDON, W.C
