Lords and Ladies of the Italian Lakes [PDF ebook] 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Fifty years ago (1861) my parents first visited the Italian Lakes their travellers‘ tales interested me vastly as a boy. Perhaps they gave me the idea of this volume. At all events, my own frequent saunterings in those beauty-spots and intercourse with some of my Lords and Ladies developed it.
