Naples And The Campagna Felice PDF Download

Excerpt from Naples and the Campagna Felice: In a Series of Letters, Addressed to a Friend in England, in 1802 The following Letters having been successively inserted in "Ackermann's Repository of Arts," under the title of "Letters from Italy," the proprietor of that Miscellany, influenced, perhaps, by the opinion of partial judges, felt desirous of publishing them in a separate Volume. To this wish alone they owe their appearance in the present form, the Author being too conscious of the imperfections in his performance to have of his own accord presumed to usher it into a more extensive circulation, even with all the advantages of embellishment which it has derived from the exertions of the Publisher. Some Apology may be due in regard to the fifteenth Letter. Although the fanciful, yet direct, offspring of an idea elicited by its predecessors, it certainly might have been suppressed, agreeably to the original intention of the writer, without injury to the historical or descriptive part of the Work.
