66 VENICE.
Place in Europe, from the Hands of the
belt Mailers of the Lombard School j as
Titian, Paul Veronefe and Eintoret. The
'f thesc is in greater Esteem at Ve-
nice than in other Parts of Italy. The
Rooms are generally hung with Gilt
Heather, which they cover on extraor-
dinary Occasions with Tapestry, and
Hangings of greater Value. The Floor-
ing is a kind of Red Plaister made of
Brick ground to Powder, and afterwards
work’d into Mortar. It is rubbed with
Oil, and makes a smooth, shining and
beautiful Surface. These Particularities
are chiessy owing to the h of the
Air, which would have an ill Effeft on
other kinds of Furniture, as it (hows it
self too visibly in many of their finest
Pictures. Tho’ the Venetians are cx-
treamly jealous of any great Fame or
Merit in a living Member of their Com-
mon-wealth, they never fail of giving a
Man his due Praises, when they are in
no Danger of suffering from his Ambi-
tion. For this Reason, tho’ there are a
great many Monuments eredted to such
as have been Benefactors to the Repub-
lick, they are generally put up after their
Deaths. Among the many Elogiums
