Excerpt from A Holiday in Umbria: With an Account of Urbino and the Cortegiano of Castiglione There is perhaps no other book that brings the reader so intimately into touch with the living men and women of four hundred years ago. As we read we become of the party our selves, we know the several speakers, we ap preciate their different views', we turn to the door when interrupted by the trampling of feet and the blaze of lights which announce the arrival of the youthful Prefetto, and we rise with surprise when daylight peeps through the chinks of the shutters and finds us still in the midst of our pleasant talk.
