In the Sala del Cambio, the Exchange of Perugia, saw some of the finest pictures of Peru- gino, belonging to the Fifteenth century, in which mythological and sacred sub- jects are commingled. Obtained higher ideas of Perugino's genius than before conceived. His figures are not drawn correctly according to nature, and are not like human beings at all, but are unnaturally attenuated, slim-waisted, and fini- cally fine, the carpet-knights of celestial chivalry ; yet I confess they have mar- velous... sweetness and a kind of supernal beauty. * * * * Passed the clear blue lake of Perugia — the ancient Trasimenus— where old Rome suffered one of her few crushing defeats. * * * * Arezzo is one of the three priucipal Etruscan cities of antiquity — an old, old place. It was the birth-place of Petrarch, and of the painters Margharitone, Spi- nello and Vasari. Its venerable Gothic cathedral belongs to the thirteenth ceutiny, and its stained windows, from the sombre character of the church, shine with un- usual brilliancy.
