In correcting this book for a second edition, I have sought to complete it without altering its original plan: I have given a new chapter sketching1 the history of Venetian Commerce and noticing the present trade and industry of Venice; I have amplified2 somewhat the chapter on the national holidays, and have affixed3 an index to the chief historical persons, incidents, and places mentioned.
Believing that such value as my book may have is in fidelity4 to what I actually saw and knew of Venice, I have not attempted to follow speculatively5 the grand and happy events of last summer in their effects upon her life. Indeed, I fancy that in the traits at which I loved most to look, the life of Venice is not so much changed as her fortunes; but at any rate I am content to remain true to what was fact one year ago.
W. D. H.
Cambridge, January 1, 1867.
