Excerpt from A Classical Tour Through Italy, An. 1802, Vol. 3 of 4 At one of these windows I seated myself, and enjoyed the glorious exhibition of the setting sun, which then hung in appearance over the distant island of Pandataria, and cast a purple gleam on all the promontories of Gaieta, and the hills of Fornziwl The purple tints, as the sun descended into the waves, brightened into golden streaks, then softened into purple again, and' gradually deepening into blue, at length melted away in darkness. The moon rose soon after; a table was placed before me covered with figs, apricots, and peaches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
