CONTENTS OF THE SECOND VOLUME

The frontispiece consists of a reduced facsimile, in photogravure, ofa lithograph by F. Scotto, entitled “Ven. Batt^a. Vernazza,” which wasprinted and owned by the firm of Gervasoni, and which appeared in thelarge 4to volume, Ritratti, ed Elogi di Liguri Illustri, with the textprinted by Ponthenier, all in Genoa. This book was published there, inmonthly parts, from 1823 to 1830. Scotto’s highly characteristic lithographno doubt reproduces an authentic likeness; and probably the originalportrait was, in the first instance, owned by the Canonesses of S. Mariadelle Grazie, Battista’s own convent in Genoa. The picture now in thepossession of the Nuns of S. Maria in Passione, the successors of thoseCanonesses, is of a quite conventional, secondary type.
