FLORENCE! La Citta del Fiore! The City of Flowers! At the mere mention of its name visions rise in our minds of all that is beautiful in Art.
That makes it the most translated non-religious book in the world, and one of the best-selling books ever published.
Some cities in the world are as dear to us as people, but can such a feeling be justified towards a foreign city.
THE present volume is intended to supply a popular history of the Florentine Republic, in such a form that it can also be used as a guide-book.
