The city of M???cenas, and of a whole crowd of famous men of later times, shows no outward signs of being much frequented by travellers. There is some difficulty there in getting so much as an Italian newspaper, and, though excellent photographs have been taken of some of the chief buildings, they must be sought for at Florence; they are not to be bought at Arezzo. Yet the old Etruscan city has many attractions, among them surely the singular cleanness of its streets, and, above all, that clear and pure air which is thought to have had something to do with nourishing the genius of so many of its citizens in so many different ways. Perhaps, on the whole, Arezzo does not suffer from not having yet put on the cosmopolitan character of some of its neighbours. And if the city does not, either as Arretium or as Arezzo, stand forth in the first rank of Italian cities, still it has a long history under both forms of its name. If, again, its buildings do not rank with those of Pisa or Lucca, still there is quite enough both in the general aspect of the city, and in some particular objects within its walls, to claim a day or two's sojourn from any one who is not eager to rush from Florence to Rome as fast as the so-called express train can carry him.

Seller's Description:
16mo. Brown cloth with gilt spine lettering and decoration. iv, 321pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece. Very good. Mild binding wear and bit of typical cloth flecking. A tight, nice first edition of this Italian travelogue. Given the tiny bookseller's ticket of Flor & Findel in Florence at lower right of front pastedown, the ownership signature on front flyleaf (dated Florence, September 1900) is no doubt that of an Anglo experiencing the fabled Grand Tour. Uncommon. Freeman (1823-92), who also published a similar travel book about Greece, was a prolific British historian and politician.
