Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Commonwealth of Florence, Vol. 1 of 4: From the Earliest Independence of the Commune to the Fall of the Republic in 1531
Any attempt, however, to develop these conclusions, as arising from the consideration of the history here offered to the reader, as well as any setting forth of the numerous other grounds on which the choice of Florence for the definitive capital of Italy may be well believed to be the wisest that could have been made, would be out of place here. The latter belong to various classes of subjects foreign to the proper business of this work; and the deductions which lead to the former must be left to the appreciation of the reader of it.
