A Sunday newspaper started in 1820, to advocate the cause of George IV., and to vilify the Queen and her friends, male and female.
I wish I could here transcribe the most beautiful passage from Ruskin's Giotto and his Works in Padua, pp. 11, 12, describing the contrast between the landscape of Valdarno and the landscape of the hills of the Mugello district.
