8vo. - Interesting details
respecting Paoli, as well as on the island and its inhabitants.
398. Eustace's Classical Tour through Italy. 4 vols. 8vo.
399. Classical Tour through Italy and Sicily. By Sir R.C.Hoare, Bart. 1819.
4to. - Mr. Eustace's work is very full and minute in the subject which the
title indicates; it is written in good taste, but in rather a prolix style;
his statements, however, are not always to be depended on, especially where
his political or religious opinions interfere. Sir R. Hoare's work is meant
as a supplement to Mr. Eustace's.
400. Remarks on Antiquities, Arts and Letters, during an excursion in
Italy, in 1802-3. By Joseph Forsyth. 1816. 8vo. - This is an admirable work,
giving in a short compass much information, and indicating strong powers of
mind, and a correct taste.
401. Sketches Descriptive of Italy, 1816-17. 4 vols. 12mo. 1820.
402. Letters from the North of Italy. By W.S. Rose, 1819. 2 vols.
8vo. - Free and judicious remarks on the political degradation of this fair
portion of Italy, with notes on manners, the state of society, &c.
403. Three Months passed in the Mountains East of Rome, in 1819. By Maria
Graham, 8vo. - An interesting and well-written picture of manners and
character, together with notices on the productions of the soil, &c.
404. Voyage to the Isle of Elba. By A.T. de Berneaud, 1814. 8vo. - This
work, translated from the French, contains a very accurate survey of this
island.
405. Tour through Elba. By Sir R.C. Hoare, bart. 1814. 4to. - Only seventeen
pages are devoted to the journal, the remainder of the books consists of 8
views and a map: and a sketch of the character of Buonaparte.
406. Le Voyage et Observations de plusieurs Choses qui se peuvent remarquer
en Italie. Par le Sieur Adelier. Paris, 1656. 8vo. - Interesting, from
exhibiting a well-drawn picture of the manners of Italy at this period:
with greater attention to natural history than was usual when Adelier
wrote.
407. Voyage en Italie. Par M. de Lalande. Geneve, 1790. 7 vols. 8vo. - This
large work embraces a vast variety of subjects, and in general they are
treated in a masterly manner; manners, government, commerce, literature,
the arts, natural history, antiquities, sculpture, paintings, &c. His
narration of the building of St. Peters is very full, curious, and
interesting.
408. Voyage en Italie. Par. M. Duclos. Paris, 1791. 8vo. - Chiefly remarks
on the government and political situation of the various states of Italy,
with anecdotes and facts relating to these topics; expressed with an open
and unshrinking boldness, not to have been expected from one who was the
historiographer of France at the period when Duclos travelled, 1766-7.
409. Lettres Historiques et Antiques de Charles de Brosses. Paris, 1799. 3
vols. 8vo. - These letters by the celebrated De Brosses, author of
L'Histoire des Navigations aux Terres Australes, and other works, hardly
are equal to the literary reputation of the author; they paint with
considerable force, though sometimes in too strong colours, the
imperfections, follies, and vices of the Italians; and display good taste
and judgment respecting the fine arts.
