_Daily Mail._--“It is this new Italy--the country of the future and not
of the past--which forms the subject of Mr Bagot’s absorbingly
interesting pages. Twenty years’ residence in the country and a sound
knowledge of its language have enabled Mr Bagot to penetrate deeply into
the character not only of the Italian in general, but of the numerous
races that form the Italian nation; to form a just estimate of Italian
institutions, politics, social life, customs, and aspirations. He does
this with absolute impartiality, distributing praise and blame from the
vantage-point of his exceptional experience. For Mr Bagot appears to
have explored every corner of the country, and to have associated with
every class of its population.”

_Daily Telegraph._--“It is a thoughtful, knowledgeful book that Mr Bagot
has given us, and one that intending visitors to Italy will do well to
read and ponder over.”

_Daily Graphic._--“Mr Bagot’s book is a highly interesting and
sympathetic description of Italian life in all its phases.”
