עמוד iii - Go, little booke, God send thee good passage, And specially let this be thy prayere, Unto them all that thee will read or hear, Where thon art wrong, after their help to call, Thee to correct in any part or all.
עמוד 103 - If Florence was to have a tyrant, she could never have found a better or more pleasant one." In fact all industry, commerce and public works made enormous progress. The civil equality of modern states, which was quite unknown to the middle ages, was more developed in Florence than in any other city of the world. Even the condition of the peasantry was far more prosperous than elsewhere.
עמוד 40 - Eighteenth he was almost universally neglected. His fame is now fully vindicated. Translations and commentaries issue from every press in Europe and America. Dante Societies are formed to investigate the difficulties of his works. He occupies in the lecture-rooms of regenerated Italy a place by the side of those great masters whose humble disciple he avowed himself to be.
עמוד 62 - His phlegmatic and persistent egotism, his sacrifice of truth and honour to self-interest, his acquiescence in the worst conditions of the world, if only he could use them for his own advantage, combined with the glaring discord between his opinions and his practice, form a character which would be contemptible in our eyes were it not BO sinister.

But his crowning superiority over every other Maecenas known to history lay in his active participation in the intellectual labours that he promoted.
עמוד 105 - ... respecting the manner in which the body and blood of Christ are present in the sacred supper.
עמוד 103 - Cosimo, but greatly his inferior in the conduct of the commercial affairs of the house. In politics he had nobler conceptions and higher ambitions, but he was more easily carried away by his passions, less prudent in his revenge, and more disposed to tyranny. He had studied letters from his earliest years under the guidance of Ficino and other leading litierati of the day.
עמוד 104 - Letter** likewise a poet of real originality. At that period Italians were forsaking erudition in order to forward the revival of the national literature by recurring to the primitive sources of the spoken tongue and popular verse. It is Lorenzo's lasting glory to have been the initiator of this movement. Without being — as some have maintained — a poet of genius, he was certainly a writer of much finish and eloquence, and one of the first to raise popular poetry to the dignity of art.
עמוד 63 - Príncipe of Macchiavelli and the Ricordi Politici of Guicciardini The latter is perhaps preferable to the former on the score of comprehensiveness. It is, moreover, more exactly adequate to the actual situation, for the Principe has a divine spark of patriotism yet lingering in the cinders of its frigid science, an idealistic enthusiasm surviving in its moral aberrations ; whereas a great Italian critic of thii decade has justly described the Ricordi as " Italian corruption codified and elevated...
