Excerpt from Venice, the City of the Sea, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Invasion by Napoleon in 1797 to the Capitulation to Radetzky in 1849 These volumes do not aspire to the dignity of History. Should they supply a deficiency in the Literature of the day, and afford the future historian a digest of material, they will have subserved their purpose. That a comprehensive view of Venice as she once was and as she now is, together with a sketch of her invasion by Napoleon and her fall in '97 after fourteen centuries of flourishing existence, has long been a desideratum, every tourist in North Italy is aware; while it is certainly remarkable, that, among the numberless volumes of Revolution Literature since '48 - 49, not one has appeared to record in detail the heroic struggle of the City of the Sea. Had such a work in any language appeared, the present would never, pro bably, have had existence; although, doubtless, an American pen can always render' events in another land more comprehensible to an American reader, than could even a native of that land himself.
