NOTES ON BOOKS:-Ashwell's "Life of Samuel Wilber- Long may my offspring occupy the position THE MOROSINI PALACE AT VENICE. It may be interesting, before the last echoes of the discussion on the church of St. Mark have died away, to give a brief account of another monument at Venice, concerning which we trust that nothing that we can say will irritate the nerves even of the most susceptible Italian. Amongst the many palaces of Venice perhaps the most interesting of all is one which is the least known. In ordinary handbooks and descriptions of Venice hardly a word is given to the palace of Francesco Morosini. It is this which, owing to the kindness of friends staying in Venice during the memorable week in last autumn when so many famous personages by an accidental coincidence It is a great compliment to an editor who has abdicated his functions to be invited, long after that event has taken place, to resume his vacated chair and, if not to "give his little senate laws," to say a few words of thanks and acknowledgments to the friends and contributors of the journal | which it was his good fortune to call into existence some thirty years ago. But the pride and grati- fication which I feel at this unexpected compli- "Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings." And the cheerful spirit in which I would point to the success of NOTES AND QUERIES, and thank those who have contributed to such success, is naturally toned down when I look round and see how many of those who originally did so have been taken away. Many of these were dear per- sonal friends, "not of the roll of common men." Peace to their honoured memories! The interest of it consists in this. It belonged Francesco Morosini, first General and then Doge of the Venetian republic, who, in consequence of his having conquered the Peloponnesus from the Turks, was called "The Peloponnesian" or "Pelo- All that travellers have ordinarily seen of this illustrious champion of Venice have been, first, the triumphal arch erected to him in the gallery of the Ducal Palace, and, secondly, the two colossal lions which he brought from the entrance of the Piræus, and which may well be ranked amongst the fore- most historical relics of the world, not only because of their association with that renowned harbour to which in later times they gave the name of Porto Leoni, but because on the shoulders of one of them are engraved Etruscan characters of a date earlier, probably, than the Piræus itself, and Runic inscriptions which describe the conquest of the Piræus by the Norse seamen of the eleventh The impressions conveyed by these memorials, even to a passing traveller, are greatly intensified |
