The Sketches of Venetian History fully bear out the general

praise we have given to the conduct of the Family Library. Venetian history is very voluminous, and only interesting by snatches : the idea, therefore, of this work was happy, and the execution has been intrusted to one who has performed his task with spirit and fidelity. There are several plates of great beauty from Paorr's drawings, engraved by FINDER.
