Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Jew of Verona, Vol. 2: An Historical Tale of the Italian Revolutions of 1846-9
Oh, that is a little paradise, exclaimed Alisa, and not a prison for criminals l My dear daughter, said Bartolo, were it even a thousand times more bright and smiling, chains and re morse would change it into an abode of fiends; and the heart of the wicked, even in the midst of the most beau tiful and favored spots on earth, enjoys neither the serene sky, nor the transparent waters, nor the ?owery gardens; but is ever wrapt in melancholy, darkness, and discontent, without comfort: the pure in heart, on the contrary, live joyful and calm in the wild forest or upon the barren rock.
