Excerpt from The Keepsake of Friendship: A Christmas and New Year's Annual for 1850

There is no town in Italy more interesting in its appearance than Verona. A quiet and vener able melancholy broods over its streets and houses. Its architecture of all forms; its peculiar case ments and balconies; the half Gothic, half clas sic, stamp of its antiquity, have, to my eyes, an inexpressible charm. I think to recognize some thing Shakespearian in the aspect of the place; it accords well with the memories with which Shakespeare has associated its reverent name; and I own that I trod its motley streets with less respect for its history than for its immortal legend - for was it not here that the gay Mercutio and the haughty Tybalt ran their brief career along these very streets went the masked troop, with their torch-bearers and merry music, on the night that Romeo made himself a guest in themmr's tomb m vsaonx.
