Summary
[In the “Travellers' Edition,” volume i. (1879), the following addition to Chapter viii. was appended:—]
“NOTE
“I have printed the chapter on the Ducal Palace, quite one of the most important pieces of work done in my life, without alteration of its references to the plates of the first edition, because I hope both to republish some of those plates, and, together with them, a few permanent photographs (both from the sculpture of the Palace itself, and from my own drawings of its details), which may be purchased by the possessors of this smaller edition to bind with the book or not, as they please. This separate publication I can now soon get set in hand; and I believe it will cause much less confusion to leave for the present the references to the old plates untouched. The woodblocks used for the first three figures in this chapter are the original ones; that of the Ducal Palace facade were drawn on the wood by my own hand, and cost me more trouble than it is worth, being merely given for division and proportion.
