The Shrine of the Slaves; Being a Guide to the Principal Pictures by Victor Carpaccio in Venice

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. The following (too imperfect) account of the pictures by Carpaccio in the chapel of San Giorgio de’ Schiavoni, IS properly a supplement to the part of 'st Mark’s Rest’ in which I propose to examine the religious mind of Venice in the fifteenth century: but I publish these notes prematurely that they mav the sooner become helpful, according to their power, to the English traveller.
