Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Florence and Modern Tuscany Several of the following papers have already been published, and I owe to the courtesy of Messrs. Macmillan, Messrs. Longman, Mr. Edward Arnold, and Mr. Murray, the permission to reprint them. Some may think my pictures of the Tuscan peasants flattering and highly coloured. I can only say that I have lived among them for thirty-four years, and that nowhere does the golden rule, "Do as you would be done by," hold good so much as in Italy. I could tell many stories of their ready kindliness, for, as my mother says in her Letters from Egypt, I "sit among the people," and do not "make myself big," a proceeding an Italian resents as much as an Arab.
