This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...through Ruskin only (and a few prints); these were the first originals I had seen. Pope Innocent X was my first great Velasquez. It seemed to me almost superhuman. As a piece of brush work it stands in the very highest rank. Some portrait painters say it is the greatest portrait in the world. Those few scratches and my brief note served to fix it forever in my memory. In making notes, I utilize also every blank space my guide book offers.

Its lines were finer than any others in the whole vast interior, and its colors more harmonious! Plate IV is another map-back, this time from Baedeker's Central Italy. It reflects the civil and religious life that was, and the life that now is, in old Siena. One cannot recall at will such useful and amusing details vividly enough to make use of them. Sketch them at the time and they are yours when you need them. Plate V is a page from my English note book, and Plate VI a page from that which contains my account of the journey down the Rhine. I made eighty such sketches in one day. Comment is unnecessary. Again, let me say, do not waste your precious moments in Europe reading. You can read at home before you go, and after you return. While you are there, WORK. Such notes as I have made I find invaluable. As Keats might...
