Modem guide- books have grown so large, that to use them with intelligence and advantage necessitates a preliminary study which requires more time than the average traveller has at his disposal. This series will be smaller in bulk, and consequently cheaper in price, than other well-known guide- books. Wliile all necessary practical information has been given in the briefest possible form, special attention has been paid to the historical, archaeological, and artistic features of the countries to which the books relate. Special pains have been taken to have the maps and plans accurate and up-to-date. At the end of the portion of the volume relating to each country, contained therein will be found a bibliography, to enable the student to supplement the information contained in this guide-book, or to continue his studies should he have the time and inclination to do so. But all the essential facts, both for his material comfort and intellectual enjoyment of the scenes visited, are, we believe, contained within the covers of each book in this series. The text is anonymous, but each portion is written by a qualified and competent author, familiar not only with the country visited, but with its art, history, and antiquities. Prefixed to each volume will be found a list of Hotels alphabetically arranged under the names of the towns in which the hotels are to be found ; some notes for yachtsmen and sportsmen, by a sailor who knows the shores of tlie Mediterranean as few men know them, aiTauged in geographical sequence and accompanied by a list of Lloyd's agents ; and, in some of the volumes, essays by well-known writers of authority on subjects of peculiar interest in connection with the country to which the volume relates. Dorpfeld for permission to reproduce his invaluable plans of the excavations on the site of Troy ; to M. HomoUe for his permission to reprint his plan of Delphi ; and to Prof, van Millingen, of Constantinople, for his kindness in reading the proofs of the portion of this Guide which relates to that city. In spite of the greatest care, errors undoubtedly have crept in. The Editors will be thankful to any of their readers who will help them by sending corrections of errors in matters of fact whenever they can. Limited , St. Martin's Street, London, W.

Being the eastern- most town in Italy, Otranto is the point of departure for several im- portant submarine cables. PopuUtion, 17, The Via Appia ended here, and the two columns — one in fragments, the other on rising ground near the quay — are sup- posed to have marked the termina- tion of the Appian Way, which was under construction from Capua just at the time of the Roman colonisation of Brundiisium; but possibly the colunms belong to some monument of the Byzan- tine period. Locally the standing column is always designated 'Pompey's Pillar. In ' thousands of crusaders died here from privations and sick- ness.

The marriage of Frederick ii with Yolanthe of Jerusalem took place in in the Cathedral, which has been altogether modernised. Several houses in Brindisi have rich and beautiful old balconies, belonging to different epochs and styles. One is seen on a mediaeval house-front near the Cathedral. Ad- joining it stands a farmhouse, formerly a monastery, with an old- fashioned garden inside the cloisters and a well of Eastern pattern. The neighbourhood of Brindisi is malarious, and care must be taken to be indoors by sunset, and to avoid the damp and fogs. BARI 61, Ber- ner, Esq. American Consular Agent. Schuck, Esq.

It has a magnificent Gothic doorway and a twelve-sided dome. The columns in the nave belonged to a temple of Venus, on the site of which the Cathedral stands. The raised choir with its cancdlo railing , the capitals in the transept, and the onginal wooden ceiling of the nave should be observed. In the spacious and well-lighted semi-crypt are some admirable sculptures, statues, and terra-cotta figures. Here also is a tine sarcophagus, with carvings of Scripture subjects in relief.

It is a city of extreme antiquity ; in Roman times and later it was a seaport, though now it lies 6 miles inland. To its situation on the sea it owes the accumxdation of those rich treasures of Byzantine art which are now its only glory. Ravenna lies in an unhealthy plain between the rivers Lamone and RoncOy occupying one of the most absolutely unpicturesque sites in the Italiaji Peninsula. The Cathedral of S, Orso, rebuilt in the 18th cent, on the site of a church of the 4th cent. In the lunette above the entrance to the sacristy is a fresco of Elijah in the Desert fed by the Angel, and in a chapel in the north transept the Falling of the Manna, both by Guido Reni. Beneath the high altar lie the remains of many bishops, and to the rt. In the transepts to the rt. In the passage behind the altar on either side are the two halves of an ancient pulpit, on which are figures of beasts, birds, and fishes, all of them ancient Byzantine emblems. The sacristy contains many valuable relics, including the Ivory Throne of Maximian, with reliefs of the 6th cent. The sub- jects are the history of Joseph, with St. John the Baptist and the four Evangelists. Some of the tablets, unfortunately, are missing ; one of them is said to be at Milan. There is also a calendar of the 6th cent, and a beautiful silver inlaid cross. On the first floor of the ArcU- episoopaJ Palace is a chapel con- taining some exceedingly beautiful mosaics in the Byzantine style, in- cluding the Madonna and attendant Saints, the Figure of Christ, and the symbols of the Evangelists, Here also are some mural inscrip- tions and other antiquities. Adjoining the Cathedral is the Baptistezy, an octagonal domed structure of ancient date, restored in The beautiful Font is of the 5th cent. The dome has mag- nificent 5th cent, mosaics, repre- senting the Baptism of Christ, with the strange Byzantine device of the personified Jordan at His side. These are perhaps the most ancient mosaics in Ravenna, and are on a beautiful blue ground. The build- ing has two arcades, one above the other; the upper one has many figures worked in stucco ; the walls are beautifully inlaid, and have fine discs of porphyry. The Church of S. Vitale, erected on the spot where S. Vitalis suffered martyrdom in , served as a model for the famous Cathedral at Aix-la-Chapelle. It is octagonal, except that it has a chancel on one side. The dome is carried on eight pillars with rich Byzantine capitals connected by semicircular arches ; the external wall of the building encircles these pillars at a distance of 12 ft. The dome is ingeniously constructed of small pipes, speci- mens of which may be seen both at the Civic Museum and at the Church of St. John the Evangelist. The mosaics of the chancel are very ancient, and in the pure Byzantine style, with peacocks, fishes, and other emblems. They include portrait-figures of Emperors and Empresses and views of the holy cities, together with Evange- lists and Prophets, and the offering of Melchisedec, which was such a favourite subject in early Christian art. There are also several scenes from the life of Moses and Abraham, and some good reliefs. The altar is of Oriental and semi-transparent alabaster. Behind it j. On the right is the marble sarco- phagua of the Emperor Honorius, her brother, and on the left that of Constantius III, her second linKband. On the vault of the dome are mosaics of the 6th cent.

The lagoon is banked ofif firom the Adriatic by a long narrow sandbank, extending S. For- merly the chief of these entrances into the lagoon was the Porto di IMoy through which all the great merchantmen of the Republic passed direct into the city, and which is still frequented by small vessels and by the Trieste steamers. The Porto di McUamoccOf between the island of the same name on the south, and that of Lido on the north, is now the deepest channel into the lagoon. Inside of this sandbank, and between it and the mainland, which is from 3 to 5 miles distant, is the lagoon — a sheet of shallow water navigable for vessels of very light draught, ex- cept where channels have been formed naturally by rivers, and artificially maintained. In some parts of this marshy, sea-covered plain, islets have — by the action of currents and otherwise — become consolidated into ground firm enough to be built upon, and fruit- ful enough to be cultivated ; and in the midst of a crowded cluster of such islets, amounting in number to between 70 and 80, the city of Venice is built. The islands, in many places only shoals, afford no good foundations for buildings ; and the city, for the most part, is built upon artificial foundations of wooden piles or stone. The Canalazzo, or Grand Canal- its tortuous course through the city being in the form of the letter S — divides the city into two almost equal parts, if the projection east of the Arsenal and its canal were eliminated, and is the main thoroughfare for traffic or pleasure. But the city is subdivided by smaller canals rii. These are the water streets of Venice, by means of which passengers can be con- veyed to any quarter, for here the canal is the street, and the gondola is the cab or carriage. There are in all public bridges, and of these, three cross the Grand Canal — the RialtOf a stone structure, and the most famous ; and two iron bridges. Many of the ancient inliabitants of this district retired to tlie islands in the lagoons of the Adriatic, especially that of Rialto, where they founded a small democratic republic, governed by ten tribunes. In tliey elected their first doge dux , Paolo Anafesto. To the doge was en- trusted the executive power ; the people retained the legislative power in their own hands ; the juridical authority was reposed in the tribunes and nobility. The first seat of the Government was Traclea. It was afterwards removed to Malamocco, and in to Rialto, where a populous city quickly rose out of the sea, and became the far- famed Venice. Great commercial privileges were granted to the young republic by Rome and Constan- tinople ; and her wealthy sons, no longer satisfied with the possession of tlie islands of the lagoons, ex- Beol tBtitkd tli«ir coDqueats into Italy and DaliTiiitia. In the wars witli the Aralwj iti the Ptli cent, tlie Venetians Viecanie expert sftilors. In the ports of Daliimtia placed tliflinselves under tbe protectinu of Vtiiiiee. Jn the Doge Vitali Midiieli was nssaAsinated, and the constitu- tion ruodified ; the arbitrary power ol' the iloge waK oow limited, and the supreme authority given to a nuincronii assembly «f Venetian nobleg. After the re-eptabliflhnient of the Byzantine Empire in , the commercial road to ludia was transferred from Constantinoplo to Alexandria, and the Genoetie fdiied great advantages over the enetian. The power of Venice then reached its zenith ; henceforward it began to di'cline. The Corfu republic, however, was preserved, together with Dalmatiiu From this period Venice ceased to take any part in the great atfairs of Europe. Tlic Ionian Islands, Hceured by the English tieet, remained outside this mush- room confederacy. The Piazza or Square of St. Mark is the great centre of busi- ness and amusement, and the locality most frequently visited by travellers in Venice. It presents a particularly animated appearance m the evening. It is ft. The E. These buildings are so called because they were the re- sidences of the nine Procurators of St. Mark's, who ranked next to the Doge, took charge of the treasures of the church, and administered the money left for the poor of the city, The Procuratie Nuove now form part of the Royal Palace ; open to visitors on Thurs.

The bronze doors of the vestibule, or Loggetta, are worthy of inspection. This cham- Ijer was formerly the waiting-room of the Procurators, who, during the sessions of the Great Council, com- manded the guards. It is now used for auctions and lottery drawings. To the left of the W. One of the curious sights of Venice is the flocking of the Pigeons to the Piazza to be fed, when the hour of two is struck by the figures upon this tower. Every part of Venice is accessible on foot, the numerous bridges, nearly , affording means of communication. The streets are narrow, and, with one or two ex- ceptions, uninteresting. The prin- cipal street is the MerceHa, which leads from the Piazza under the Clock Tower to the Bialto, and is always crowded. It has rows of shops on each side, many of which are very attractive, and goods are sold here at prices much below those demanded in the shops on the Piazza. In the Piazzetta, close to the landing-place, are two lofty red granite columns, which have stood for many centuries trophies of Venetian conquest, having been brought from the East by Domenico Michieli in The following anecdote is related of their erection, which took place some years after on the spot they now occupy. The architect, being promised any re- ward for rearing these pillars, de- manded that games of chance, which had been prohibited in Venice, might be played between them. The Senate was bound to comply with his request ; but, to counteract in some measure the effect of the permission, they appointed that all public executions should take place on this spot, which thus was rendered a place of abhorrence. One of these columns is surmounted by the winged lion of St. Mark, and the other by St. Theodore, his predecessor as patron of the city. Look- ing east, the trmrduii Pvbhlici are seen projecting, and Iwyond them the Lido, a narrow ifilatirl which tmta off the view of the Adriatic in that direction.
