Excerpt from Venice Empire, was, that they secured freedom of trade and intercourse within its vast boundaries. They knew how to obtain the same rights from the Italian Empire of the German emperors, and when the second millenium dawned, Venice was already considered a flourishing commercial state, richer than all her neighbours. The Doge Pietro Orseolo II., the fried of the young German Emperor Otho III., established factories and ports all along the Italian coast. The Roman coast-towns of Dalmatia, from Zara to Ragusa, rendered him homage. He was rightly conscious of being Lord of the Adriatic and expressed this feeling symbolically by an imposing and beautiful ceremony. Every year on Ascension day, he - and after him the later Doges - went to sea in a magnificently decorated boat (the Bucentoro) and celebrated his espousal of the Adriatic by throwing a golden ring into the waters. Not that the rule over Dalmatia had then by any means been assured, or even after the Byzan tine emperor had formally ceded Istria and Dalmatia to the Doge in 1074. The Venetians were, on the contrary, constantly forced to struggle against the rivalry of the Hungarians, and only enjoyed the undisputed possession of the East coast of the Adriatic after the time of the crusades.

Excerpt from The Story of Venice May we be permitted a word Of counsel to the returning traveller who has not restricted his move ments by taking the usual circular ticket. If he voyage by the little steamer that plies between the Riva degli Schiavoni and Fusina (whence a steam tram will carry him to the S. Sofia station at Padua, near the Arena Chapel), he will pass along the Old route from the mainland, and enjoy a last and certainly a fond and lingering view Of the wonderful city as the boat slowly steams away from Venice through the canals Of the Zattere and Of Fusina. The train to Padua passes along the road that follows the course Of the Canale di Brenta, affording glimpses Of many an Old patrician palace in picturesque decay. He will touch at Oriago where Jacopo del Cassero, who entreated Dante's prayers in the ante-purgatorio, was overtaken and murdered by the assassins of the tyrant Azzo VIII. Of Este, and saw among the reeds and the mire1 a pool growing on the ground from his veins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
