present a true portrait of the man, with the shadows as
well as the lights duly emphasized, fully realizing that
what may appear faults to some, to others will shine out
as virtues, and vice versa.
From Milan, Morse and his companion planned to
cross the mountains to Geneva, but, having a day or
two to spare, they visited the Lake of Como, which, as
was to be expected, satisfied the eye of the artist: "It is
shut in by mountains on either side, reminding me of the
scenery of Lake George, to which its shores are very
similar. In the transparency of the water, however,
Lake George is its superior, and in islands also, but in ail
thingselse the Lake of Como must claun theprecedence.
The palaces and villas and villages which skirt its shores,
the mountains, vine-clad and cultivated to their sum-
mits, ail give a charm for which we look in vain as yet in
our country. The luxuries of art have combined with
those of nature in a wonderful degree in this enchanting
spot."
On August 4, they left Milan in the diligence for Lago
Maggiore, and we learn that: "Our coach is accom-
panied by yen~cnT~. We enquired the reason of the
conductor, who was in the coach with us. He told us
that the road is an unsafe one; that every day there are
instances of robbery perpetrated upon those who travel
alone."
It would be pleasant to follow the travellers through
beautiful Maggiore and up the rugged passes from Italy
to Switzerland and thence to Germany and Paris, and
to see through the unspoiled eyes of an enthusiast the
beauties of that playground of the nations, but it would
bebutthe repetition of anoft-told tale, and Imusthasten
