I have not seen any thing finer than the Great
Altar of St. Jusiina s with the Tabernacle. The
devout Adorers of that Saint are always careful
to visit the Stone where she left the print of her
Knees, when fire said her last Prayer before her
Martyrdom, as the Story is related in an
tin-
VoI.I. to ITALY. 155
I fliall take this occasion to observe, that by
the Epitaphs I have seen in this place, I find that
a considerable number of the Persons on whom
they are written, dy’d above 80 Years old. A
sign that the Air of Venice is not bad.
The Front of St. Marys of Nazareth is of very
fine white Marble; ’Tis a Piece of Sardi's Ar- Carme-
chitedure, and extreamly magnificent. * Those lives on the
of St. Jufiinas and St. Saviours are also very ^alealid
much esteem’d. The last of these Churches is chm.gt
adorn’d with the stately Tombs of the Doge ostheMh
