The Fift Booke of the Magistrates and commonwealth of
Venice. - Sundry Notes and Collections which I haue gathered as well by reading and obseruation, as also by conference with Ve∣netian Gentlemen, skilfull in the state of their countrey, for the better vnderstanding of sundry points, eyther not at all touched in the former discourse, or else so obscurely, that the reader being a stranger cannot thereby rest fully satisfi∣ed, especially if he haue a curious desire to know euery parti∣cular of their gouernment. But this being added vnto the former, I doubt not but the state of the whole shal be so cleer∣ly and exactly deliuered vnto him, as though (if it were pos∣sible) he should see the same in a glasse.
