ROSCOE. Crown Svo. gs. 



The life of Vittoria Colonna, the celebrated Marckesa di Pescara, has 

 received but cursory notice from any English writer, thotigh in every 

 history of Italy her name is mentioned with great honour among the poets 

 of the sixteenth century. "In three hundred and fifty years," says her 

 biographer, Visconti, "there has been no other Italian lady who can be 

 compared to her.

 occasionally with a real freshness and chd)-m 0/ style." — Pall Mall
