I had not enjoyed the Venetian vices for nearly eight years, and Marcoline was a beauty before whom Praxiteles would have bent the knee. I laughed at my brother for having let such a treasure slip out of his hands, though I quite forgave him for falling in love with her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
