By Italian Seas: Illustrations by the Author (Classic Reprint)

This book has been called By Italian Seas, though to-day several of the countries pictured therein are politically not part of Italy. But they are bound to Italy by the strongest bonds. Dalmatia, though Austrian, was for so long a time under the domina tion of Venice that its art, its civilization, and even its language are essentially Italian. Malta, though English, was a cosmopolitan island, like Sicily, be longing first to one power, then to another, and to none so much as to the Knights of Malta, whose most powerful auberge was that of Italy and Provence. Tunis was Europeanized by Italians, with whom the French protectorate is still a standing grievance and a source of national resentment.
