THE
ITALIAN SKETCH BOOK.
Italia, oh, Italia! thou who hast
The fatal gift of beauty, whÃch became
A funeral dower of present woes and past,
On thy sweet brow is sorrow ploughed by shame.
Yet, Italy! through every other land
Thy wrongs should ring, and shall, from side to side;
Mother of arts! as once of arms; thy hand
Was then our guardian and is still our guide.
BY AN AMERICAN.

ADVERTISEMENT.
[figure description] Advertisement.[end figure description]
The following pages comprise leaves from a Journal
in Italy, in 1833-4, with Sketches and Essays,
illustrative of the local and social features of that
interesting country. The unexpected favour with
which the specimens that have appeared in literary
journals were received, has induced a revision and
presentation of them, in the form of a volume.
Several articles calculated to render the design more
complete, have been added. Should this little
work, the first attempt of the kind on the part of
the writer to interest the public, serve to revive
the impressions of one who has sojourned in the
regions of which it speaks, or, pleasingly inform
one who is precluded from beholding them; especially
should it tend, in the least degree, to awaken
in any mind an interest and faith in humanity as
there existent, or its perusal enliven an irksome,
or beguile a painful hour, the author will feel that
the time devoted to its production has not been
spent in vain.
