Volume 2 of 2. The history of the Medici is a deeply interesting story; while, besides its intrinsic interest, it helps us to acquire much knowledge about the rebirth of Learning and Art, about the history of Europe in perhaps its most important period, about the birth of Science, and about the great collections of Art possessed by Florence. For without referring largely to all these subjects no true picture of the Medici can be given. My aim has been to write of them as a family-their rise, their course upon the mountain tops of power, and their decline and end-and to keep the parts always in subordination to the whole.
