36 Visconti, who has since become so celebrated by his _Iconographie
Grecque et Romaine_, says in the _Approvazione_ of the work of
Lanzi, which he had perused in his official capacity,—“Il saggio di
lingua Etrusca, che ho letto per commissione del Rmo. P. M. del S.
P. A., mi è sembrato assolutamente il miglior libro che sia stato
sinora scritto su questo difficile e vasto argomento.” This opinion,
so early formed, has been confirmed by that of all writers who have
subsequently touched on the subject.
