COUNTESS CESARESCO, of Salò, Lagò di Garda, Italy, has been a frequent contributor to the leading English reviews during the last fifteen years of the nineteenth century. Her essays on classical subjects are charmingly written, and she writes with enthusiasm on all subjects which relate to the regeneration of Italy. Among her more important publications are “Essays on the Study of Folk Song,” “The Liberation of Italy,” “Cavour,” and “Italian Character-Sketches.” What she writes of Virgil and Horace is vivified by the atmosphere in which they lived. By birth, she is an Englishwoman, daughter of Very Reverend Dean Carrington. She married Count Eugenio Martinengo-Cesaresco, and adopting Italy as her country, she has become an enthusiastic student of its poetry, history, and folk lore.
