Description

"Riporti" or Manuscript Gazettes; being news-letters from Venice, Rome, Vienna, Paris, London, Madrid, the Hague, Hamburg and other cities.

Note
There are 49 news-letters from London. Bound in vellum. Ab. 1,200pp Mr Rawdon Brown has written the following note on the fly-leaf of this volume:- "There is a blank in the Venetian correspondence with England (preserved in the Venice Archives) from 1689 to 1695, as, during that interval, the Republic did not accredit any diplomatic agent to King William III. On this account, the London news-letters, in circulation at Venice, whilst the official intercourse between the two countries was suspended, are probably not very authentic; but their curiosity augments, as it was through them alone, that the Venetians then obtained their regular periodical accounts of England and the English. The fact of this blank was ascertained by me, in company with Mr Macaulay, in the summer of 1856, when we overhauled together the letters written by Venetian diplomatists in England at the close of the 17th century, and which are now shelved in the corridors of the Frari at Venice."
