Excerpt from Through the Alps to the Apennines

Part of the chapters on Volterra and Orvieto has previously appeared in the Paris edition of the Daily Mail; part of Chapters IX. And XIX. In the Car magazine. To the editors of these publications I am indebted for permission to reprint these articles. My thanks are also due to Mr. Robert Little for having placed his admirable water-colour drawing of Volterra at my disposal for reproduction as a frontispiece, and to Messrs. Ernest Brown and Phillips of the Leicester Galleries for their kindness in lending the original for this purpose; to Mr. E. A. Rickards for having overcome his artistic scruples to allow his charming crayon scribbles of types and incidents to be reproduced; and to Dan for a large pro portion of the photographs which will do much towards atoning for the shortcomings of this book.
