A Short History of Italy (476-1900) (Classic Reprint)

This volume is a mere sketch in outline; it makes no pretence to original investigation, or even to an extended examination of the voluminous hterature which deals vrith every part of its subject. It is an attempt to give a correct impression of Italian history as a whole, and employs details only here and there, and then merely for the sake of giving greater clearness to the general outline. So brief a narrative is mainly a work of selection ;and perhaps no two persons would agree upon what to put in and what to leave out. I have laid emphasis upon the matters of greatest general interest, the Papacy, the Renaissance, and the Risorgimento; and my special object has been to put in high relief those achievements which make Italy so charming and so interesting to the world, and to give what space was possible to the great men to whom these achievements are due. H. D. S. New York, October
