27 May–2 June 1833

Left Florence. Stopped at the Pratolino, five miles out of the city, to see the colossal statue of Father Apennine by John of Bologna.

At 4 A. M. we set forward, and passing through a picturesque country, arrived at Bologna (25 miles) at 10 }4 o'clock. Here we visited the bel- ebrated statue of Neptune by John of Boiogna (good enough, but why sd famous ?), the gallery of the Academy and of the Palazzo Lambacari, both rich in Guidos, Caraccis, Guercinos ; the museum and library founded by Marsilius, 100,000 volumts ; the Cathedral, the Church of San Domenico where is Guido's fresco. Para- dise, and where lie the bones of Guido, of the two Caraccis, and also of St. Dominick.
