This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ... Fondaco De' Turchi, I. 319.; II. 119. 121. 237. The opposite plate, representing three of its capitals, has been several times referred to. Fondaco De' Tedeschi. A huge and ugly building near the Rialto, rendered, however, peculiarly interesting by remnants of the frescoes by Giorgione with which it was once covered. See Vol. II. 79., and III. 23. Formosa, Church Of Santa Maria, III. 113. 122.

The lower palaces at the side of this building are said by some to have belonged to the younger Foscari. See " Giustiniani." Francesco Della Vigna, ChuRCH Of St. Base Renaissance, but must be visited in order to see the John Bellini in the Cappella Santa. The late sculpture, in the Cappella Giustiniani, appears from Lazari's statement to be deserving of careful study. This church is said also to contain two pictures...

Excerpt from The Stones of Venice: Volume I, the Foundations; Volume II, the Sea-Stories IN the course of arranging the following essay, I put many things aside in my thoughts to be said in the Preface, things which I shall now put aside altogether, and pass by for when a book has been advertised a year and a half, it seems best to present it with as little preface as possible.
