Account of Sicily at the turn of the 20th century, with a focus on the art, history,  and landscape of the Island, from the largest of cities to its hamlets and villages.    "To know Europe, one must know Italy.  To know Italy, one must be well versed in Sicilian history, archaelogy , art and literature.  Italy without Sicily leaves no image in the soul;  Sicily is the key to it all"  (Goethe).  Paton echoed Goethe's sentiments and produced a well illustrated guide to this ancient island. Although called a "revised edition", this 1897 edition appears to be the earliest listed in either OCLC or the British Library Catalogue.  Editions of this work were published into the 1920's.   .
