It would be ungracious to allow these pages
to go to press without some acknowledgment, how-
ever inadequate, of the "pery great kindness and
courtesy extended to me in Italy, when, in the
rainy year of 1903, / was engaged in their
preparation. Owners of Iiistoric houses, from His
Majesty t/ie King downwards, did all that was
possible to facilitate my labours. Perhaps it is
not presumptuous on my part to hope that I shall
meet with the same goodwill when, in a second book,
I try to represent some of the beautiful villas on
the Italian Lakes. My thanks are also due to
Mr. "J. Dollinger, my guide and interpreter,
whose untiring energy and kindly help enabled me
to overcome ma7iy obstacles that, without such
assistance, I should ha've heen unable to surmount.

CHARLES LATHAM.
