On high, amid all this grotesqueness, sits the de- parted doge. In the conventual buildings attached to this church are the state archives of Venice. "We did not see them, but they are said to number millions of documents. " They are the records of centuries of the most watchful, pbservant land sus- picious government that ever existed — in which every thing was written down and nothing spoken out." They fill nearly three hundred rooms. Among them are manuscripts from the. archives of nearly tw...o thousand families, monasteries and convents. The secret history of Venice for a thousand years 236 SEEING THE SIGHTS. is here — its plots, its hidden trials, its assassinations, its com- missions of hireling spies and masked bravoes — food, ready to hand, for a world of dark and mysterious romances. Yes, I think we have seen all of Venice. We have seen, in these old churches, a profusion of costly and elaborate sepulchre ornamentation such as we never dreampt of before. We have stood in the dim re- ligious light of these hoary sanctuaries, in the midst of long ranks of dusty monu- ments and effigies of the great dead of Yenice, until we seemed drifting back, back, back, into the solemn past, and looking upon the scenes and mingling with the peoples of a remote antiquity.
