The Life of Mazzini Part 18

Mazzini's autobiographical notes in the earlier volumes of the _Scritti editi e inediti_ are of course of the highest value. The completest life is Mario, _Della vita di Giuseppe Mazzini_ (Milan, 1886), containing a ma.s.s of valuable material, but partial and including much extraneous matter. There is a much better study of Mazzini's early life, prefixed to the same auth.o.r.ess' _Scritti scelti_. Saffi's introductions to several volumes of the _Scritti editie e inediti_ are most valuable. Donaver's _Vita di G. Mazzini_ is useful, especially for the earlier period. There is a short memoir by Madame Venturi (_nee_ Miss Ashurst) prefixed to the English translation of the Duties of Man. I have seen no other biographies of any value.

NOTICES AND STUDIES.

There is a life-like portrait of Mazzini and much information about his early life in G. Ruffini, _Lorenzo Benoni_ (Edinburgh, 1853); a valuable sketch, largely based on conversations with Madame Mazzini, by Mr William Shaen in _The Public Good_, 1851; and some useful information in Donaver, _Uomini e libri_. There are studies of more or less value in Cantimori, _Saggio sull'idealismo di G. Mazzini_ (Faenza, 1904); Linaker, _La Vita italiana nel risorgimento_ (Florence, 1899); Nencioni, _Saggi critici di letteratura italiana_ (Florence, 1898); Oxilia, _Giuseppe Mazzini, uomo e letterato_ (Florence, 1902); F. Myers in _Fortnightly Review_, 1878; De Sanctis, _La letteratura italiana nel secola XIX._ (Naples, 1902); D'Ancona e Bacci, _Manuale della lettaratura italiana_, vol. v. (Florence, 1901); _Mazzini: Conferenze tenute in Genova_ (Genova, 1906). There are valuable a.n.a.lyses of Mazzini's economic position in Bozzino, _Il socialismo e la dottrina sociale di Mazzini_ (Genoa, 1895), and Bertacchi, _Il pensiero sociale di Giuseppe Mazzini_ (Milan, 1900).

Hostile studies in Bianchi, _Vicende del Mazzinianismo_ (Savona, 1854) and Gruber, _Ma.s.soneria e Rivoluzione_ (Rome, 1901), the latter of small value.
