The Cardinal's Snuff Box is a thrilling historical fiction novel written by Henry Harland. The story is set in 18th century Venice and follows the life of a young Englishman named Brian Strange. Brian is a talented painter who has come to Venice to study art. He soon becomes embroiled in a mystery involving a stolen snuff box that once belonged to a powerful cardinal. As Brian delves deeper into the mystery, he finds himself caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the thieves who stole the snuff box. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful Italian woman named Bianca and a mysterious man named Count Flavio. As the plot thickens, Brian must navigate the treacherous waters of Venetian society and use all of his wits and skills to solve the mystery of the snuff box. The Cardinal's Snuff Box is a gripping tale of intrigue, romance, and adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.The trouble with him? Peter pondered. Oh, it would be too long and too sad a story. Should I anatomise him to you as he is, I must blush and weep, and you must look pale and wonder. He has pretty nearly every weakness, not to mention vices, that flesh is heir to. But as for conceit . . . let me see. He concurs in my own high opinion of his work, I believe; but I don't know whether, as literary men go, it would be fair to call him conceited. He belongs, at any rate, to the comparatively modest minority who do not secretly fancy that Shakespeare has come back to life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
