Excerpt from Transatlantic Sketches, or Sixty Days in America Imagined Columbia's dames are without their privileges; for instance, during the last week, it has been my lot, as a stranger, to fall under the protection of one of the most fascinating and agreeable lof New York married ladies. Without remark from any one, we drive, walk, ride, with the greatest impunity; and nightly at her opera-box, I am assured, I shall ever be a welcome visitor. To-morrow morning I expect some introductions to Washington from a young lady I had the honour to escort alone to a ball last night. As yet, however, I have not been introduced to.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ...and uses; and on the horizon the lovely iridescent mountains. The place is turned into a very shabby farm-house, with muddy water in the old pieces d'eau and dunghills on the old parterres. The "feature" is the contents of the loggia: a vaulted roof and walls decorated by Giulio Eomano; exquisite stucco-work and still brilliant frescos; arabesques and figurines; nymphs and fauns, animals and flowers--gracefully lavish designs of every sort. Much of the color--especially the blues--is still almost vivid, and all the work is wonderfully ingenious, elegant, and charming. Apartments so decorated can have been meant only for the recreation of great people--people for whom life was impudent ease and success. Margaret Farnese was the lady of the house, but where she trailed her cloth of gold the chickens now scamper between your legs over rotten straw. It is all inexpressibly dreary. A stupid peasant scratching his head, a couple of critical Americans picking their steps, the walls tattered and befouled breast-high, dampness and decay striking in on your heart, and the scene overbowed by these heavenly frescos, mouldering there in their airy artistry! It's poignant; it provokes tears; it tells so of the waste of effort. Something human seems to pant beneath the gray pall of time and to implore you to rescue it, to pity it, to stand by it, somehow. But you leave it to its lingering death without compunction, almost with pleasure; for the place seems vaguely crime-haunted--paying at least the penalty of some hard immorality. The end of a Eenaissance casino! The didactic observer may take it as a symbol of the eventual destiny of the House of Pleasure. February 12th.--Yesterday to the Villa Albani. Over-formal and (as my companion says)...
