Excerpt from Old Pictures in Florence: With a Prefatory Note by William A. Sim Old Pictures in Florence (men and Women, 1855) has been aptly described as c a quaint heterogeneous causerz'e suggested to the writer on a sunny March morning, while he looked down from some high set villa's parapet over the city, radiant through its live translucent bath of air Yonder soars Giotto's Tower. His very name recalls many less famous followers, whose ghosts seem still to haunt street and square, bewait tng now a faded fresco, now a dim canvas. Their lover had patiently studied these path etic relics. i spent some most delightful time, wrote Rossetti to Allingham, with Browning at Paris, both in the evenings and at the Louvre, where {and throughout conversation) I found his knowledge of Early Italian Art beyond that of any one I ever met encyclopaedically beyond that of Ruskin himself. Though such worklacked the formal grace of Greek sculpture, it pursued a loftier ideal. Let the visible go to the dogs what matters 5? Myron's Athene and the Cnidian Aphrodite by Praxi teles represented a lim ited mundane loveliness, which meant submission, finality, arrested development. Cimabue, Em Angelica, Taddeo Gaddi, Duccio dared to be faulty: faulty because they embodied spiritual yearnings, steps, stages, phases of process in a soul's growth. Perspective was ill understood. Backgrounds became merely symbolic hints. A bluish expanse with impossible fishes stood for the sea. Yet admit all this defective execution, this contracted range of power, says Mrs. Jameson, how exquisitely beau tiful are certain of the remains of this early age, afierding in their simple genuine feeling examples of eazcellence which our modern painters begin to recognise, and which even the great Raphael did not disdain to admire and even to copy.

The founder of modern nursing comes to life in this accessible biography for young readers. Born and raised in a wealthy family, no one expected Florence Nightingale to grow up to do dirty work. But she found her life's calling after witnessing firsthand the atrocious conditions at hospitals in the mid 1800s. Where everyone else saw unavoidable chaos, Florence saw opportunity for order. She developed strict standards of hygiene and established extensive nurse training. Her new systems significantly lowered death rates and revolutionized the healthcare landscape of her time. When she was thirty-eight years old, Florence contracted Crimean fever and remained homebound for the rest of her life. She continued to fight for nursing reform and sanitary conditions, working from her bed as she met distinguished guests and published papers. This informative entry in Adler's well-known series contains biography, facts, and history accompanied by charming illustrations.

Lyrics and never-before-seen poetry and sketches from the iconic musician of Florence and the Machine Songs can be incredibly prophetic, like subconscious warnings or messages to myself, but I often don't know what I'm trying to say till years later. Or a prediction comes true and I couldn't do anything to stop it, so it seems like a kind of useless magic.
