Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Venetia, Vol. 1
IN happier hours, when I first mentioned to you the idea of this Work, it was my intention, while in scribing it with your name, to have entered into some details as to the principles which had guided me in its composition, and the feelings with which I had at tempted to shadow forth, though as 'in a glass darkly, ' two of the most renowned and refined Spirits that have adorned these our latter days. But nowl will only express a hope that the time may come when, in these pages, you may find some relaxation from the cares, and some distraction from the sor rows, of existence, and that you will then receive this dedication as a record of my respect and my affection.
