Excerpt from Italy and the Rise of a New School of Criticism in the 18th Century (With Special Reference to the Work of Pietro Calepio) The following essay belongs to and supplements a larger work on Italian Literary Criticism in the 17th and 18th centuries which will be published later when the researches into that criticism are finished. Material for this research, conducted under the direction and with the assistance of the Carnegie Trust, was collected in the academic year, 1919-20, in several libraries in Italy, notably the Biblioteca Nazionale and the University Library of Naples, thd Biblioteca Civica of Bergamo, the Biblioteche Marucelbnna, Laurenzcana and Magleabecehiana of Florence, and the Biblioteca Vittorio Emmanuele of Rome, some detail was also culled from the British Museum. Apart from those libraries I enjoyed the privilege of consulting the private collection of Benedetto Croce, and may state that the general principles and methods illustrated in the investigation owe largely their origin to his suggestion and encouragement.
