Excerpt from A Handbook for Travellers in Central Italy: Including Lucca, Tuscany To the description of Tuscany and of the Provinces which until recently formed part of the States Of the Church, has been added that of the Island of Sardinia, which, although belonging politically to the North Italian Kingdom, geogra phically must be considered as more allied to the countries comprised in the present volume. For this description of the largest island in the Mediterranean, the Editor has been mainly indebted, as already stated, to the late General Count di Collegno, well known to the scientific world as one Of the most distinguished Geologists Of Italy.
