Book excerpt: Excerpt from Description of Malta and Gozo Fior del Mondo is the ardent language of the love of our country, and though Malta, which has received this superlative appellation from its devoted children, is but a rock, yet "a rock is a rock" all the world through; while the glory of the sky which overlooks Malta, the noble port which indents its rugged margin, as also the peculiarity of its position with regard to neighbouring tracts of the earth, render it altogether a rock singularly interesting, and of vast intrinsic importance. The sky, and air, and country of Malta is A frican; but its life and civilization is European. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
