173 with white tracery, the picture becomes more complete ; the indistinct daubs of colour resolve into splendid paintings, and the innumerable touches of green, and red, and white, and grey, are mar- shalled into ranks of antique columns. In front of the Temple stand, at equal distances, three pedestals of bronze, decorated with bas-reliefs, on which are planted the flag-staffs that supported, in former times, the standards of Cyprus, Candy, and the Morea, the three vassal-kingdoms of the repu...blic. To the right, almost on a line with these poles, which, in the gaudy taste that predominates over the whole spot, are painted red, is the Cam- panile, a square tower of brick, two hundred and thirty feet high, ornamented at the top with oriental marble. At its base, in exquisite contrast, a little lodge stands, constructed by Sansorino, entirely built of marble, and loaded with statues and bas- reliefs of admirable workmanship. From this spot a view is obtained of the Palace of the Doges, extending on a parallel line, somewhat retired, with the Temple, and making one side of a street, short it is true, but of extraordinary splendour, the other side of which is formed by the Library of Saint Mark.
