Excerpt from The History of the Popes, Vol. 3: Their Church and StatePolo Capello promises to treat on four subjects: the cardinals, the relations or dispositions of the pope towards the king of France and towards Venice respectively; the intentions (el desiderio) Of his holiness, and what they might expect from him; but as this division of his subject was not founded on any very accurate distinctions, he does not rigidly adhere to it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
