_—« B » A . Decade of Italian Women . By T . Adolphus Trollope .
Life in Tuscany . By Mabel Sharman Crawford . We have in these two books ictures of old and Italy ; in
pyoung the one case very strongly colored by the writer ' s own idiosyncrasies , in the other sketched with a light and graceful hand . In the
" Decade of Italian Women , " as is due to its priority of date , to say nothing of its exceedingly massive and imposing exterior , we shall
first turn our attention , and we must confess that it has seldom been our fate to wade through a book at once so interesting
from its subject , and so unpleasant from the way in which that subject is handled . Mr . Trollope has brought to his task
considerable erudition , and has evidently spared no pains in hunting authorities and " cramming" for the occasion . Very forcible
p up ictures he has succeeded in eliminating from often scanty material and doubtful data . There is no lack of graphic and life-like
portrayal , nay , the fault is rather one of superabundance of vigor , and to this may be attributed the under current of coarseness which ,
joined to open and avowed scepticism , renders the book singularly
unpleasant .
