In these early 20th century decorative leather books, the author describes the history of Venice by the study of the private life of the Venetians. Manners and customs are his main theme, interweaving events. "The Golden Age," comprises the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when Venice was the most fascinating spot in Christendom-the throne of a queen who held in fee not only the gorgeous East, but the imaginations of the worshipers of beauty, magnificence and pleasure throughout the civilized world. These volumes furnish description of the magnificence-and of the defects which accompanied it. Praise is due to the translator, himself a recognized authority on matters Venetian, and call particular attention to the illustrations, which do, in truth, illustrate the text on all sides.Title: Venice, Its Individual Growth from the Earliest Beginnings to the Fall of the Republic - The Golden Age (Part II, 2 volume set)Author: Pompeo Molmenti (translated by Horatio F.

The late 19th century decorative illustrated leather book, Lowell's The Vision of Sir Launfal is a long verse parable originally published in 1848. Lowell, who was influenced by the works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and Thomas Malory, offers his version of the Grail story in this tale of a knight who decides not to take a journey in search of the Holy Grail after he learns, during the course of a long dream, that the real meaning of the Grail is charity. The poem is written in iambic tetrameter and is divided into two parts, each with a prelude. Although set in the medieval era, the poem contains moving descriptions of the American landscape.Title: The Vision of Sir Launfal Author: James Russell LowellPublisher: Field, Osgood, & Co.
