Book Description

Excerpt from Walks in Florence, and Its Environs, Vol. 1 The present edition of this work is an entire recast, rendered necessary by the numerous changes which have taken place in Florence during the last few years. We have added a few chapters on the neighbourhood, which though less known to strangers than the city, is not only attractive from the beauty of the scenery, but interesting from the history of many of the Palaces, Villas, and Churches, scattered over hill and plain. The illustrations of the Arms of the Municipality, and Guilds, with a selection from those of the distinguished families of Florence, annexed to the end of Vol. II., will, we hope, prove useful, because associated with the chronicles of the old.
