Excerpt from Tripoli and Young ItalyI wish to acknowledge the invaluable assistance I have received from Miss Helen Zimmern, whose intimate knowledge of Italy and things Italian, accumulated during twenty-five years' residence here, has been wholly at my service. Her affection for her adopted country is bound less, and is widely appreciated throughout in tellectual circles in Italy. She is especially responsible for the chapter on art and literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
