Abstract
THAT part of Italy lying to the south-east, forming the “heel,”was once a land full of stirring events, but it has long lapsed into a state of semi-oblivion; to tell of its past glories and its present prospects is the object of this charming little volume by Mrs. Ross.
The Land of Manfred, Prince of Tarentum, and King of Sicily: Rambles in Remote Parts of Southern Italy, with Special Reference to their Historical Associations.
By Janet Ross. Illustrated by Carlo Orsi. (London: John Murray, 1889.)
